Thanks Admin..sure its not a problem..
1.I am using curves for shadow and highlights then masking or erasing those over expose to reveal orig layer,be sure your brush is at 10-15% and its always depends on your taste for the outcome.
2.Brightness and Contrast - its ok to over exposed some part as u can always do masking/erasing on it and revealing the orig layer but be sure its not too musch
3.Hue and Saturation
4.Lens Distortion - Vignetting ( in this step i usually set all to minimum and erasing the part I wanted to highlights ,in this step its like your making lights strike on your photo..) Most PPed shot, i used this step to give attention on what part of my photo that my viewer wanted to see..
5.Lastly USM and making boarders..

As this is my personal pref it's still up to you on how you will come up on your own workflow and what do u want to make your photo look like... and it always depends on the original photo:D
Hope this helps..cheers!
Very Happy
