Canon Picture styles affect raw

I have done a lot of research and every source tells me that picture styles do not affect raw images. I did a test comparing the neutral and standard profiles and imported into Lightroom and I noticed a significant difference. Is there a way to change this? I am using the EOS Rp

"So far as I'm aware, no other camera setting will have any impact on the 'RAW' data itself."

 

I said that a dozen times.  The only effect the camera settings have is how the editor displays it. It is a stating point, if you will,  as is, "(I) did *not* tell it to de-mosaic the image.  I did tell it to auto-stretch ..."  You altered the Raw data for a viewable image!

Lightroom 9.2 now allows the camera picture style setting to be recognized and applied during RAW file import.

All DSLR photos start out as Raw data files

When you shoot jpg, the camera converts the Raw data file into a viewable jpg image before storing it on the memory card. On the other hand, if you shoot Raw format, the camera saves the Raw data but the camera also creates a jpg image and saves it as a tag for editors like LR.

Raw data files are larger than jpg because they do not get compressed.

Using DDP 4 for a couple of months.  Today when I went to edit some photos the options for Picture Styles are locked out.  What did I do to cause that and how do I get the options back?

I have never noticed that. I do get an entry that says "Shot settings" with no option to change when I open a JPEG in DPP.

What kind of file is it? Can you post the file in Dropbox or One Drive?
