Shooting raw questions with picture style

You know there is a picture style for jpg....portrait, landscape, neutral etc. Now, when you shoot raw, do the picture styles still affect the image style?

The picture style is written into the RAW and if you use DPP then it becomes the default recipe for conversion. As far as I know only DPP can read this so Lightroom etc would ignore it. In either case the RAW is unaffected by picture styles.

so doing a white balance would also not show up in the raw file?

Well, they both do "show up" in the RAW file, and Hank mentioned the Picture style does in his reply.

The WB setting will be readable by ANY RAW converter.

The Pictures style will only be readable (and therefore usable) by DPP or Canon RIT.

WB should show up in the RAW file (for example if you selected "Daylight" instead of Auto) and most/all RAW conversion programs should be able to interpret the setting.

Picture styles are different, but one thing to be aware of is that the picture style will affect the embedded jpeg, which in turn affects the histogram (and blinkies if you've enabled them).

so lightroom will pickup the fact that you are using a certain picture style?

You are getting Picture Styles mixed up with other settings such as White Balance.

Picture Styles are how the camera would apply things like contrast, sharpness and saturation to a shot wile converting it to a jpeg. White Balance is similar (applied after the shot is taken) but is separate from the picture style and the White Balance data is used by Lightroom. The pictue style data is not.
