Picture Styles!

Some say this is utter useless, others think that it’s the best thing since sliced bread! Since my workflow is primarily in RAW and I’ve enough automated actions, adjustments and scripts to do most of those, how does this Picture styles affect me? For wedding photography, I prefer to hand-adjust the ones going into the PhotoBook but when bulk printing or for inclusion into a CD, a carefully tuned Picture style can do all that in camera can give you the JPEGs that you can use right out of the camera. I’ve just started experimenting so that ideal picture-style for me is still a ways off. But check out the following photo with several different Picture-styles applied. I believe the styles are ‘Landscape’, ‘Monochrome with orange filter and medium contrast’, ‘Nostalgic’ and ‘Clear contrast’.
