Hi,
I am a Canon 60D user. Can any body tell me is the raw file effected with any camera preset mode like, Picture Style (Standard, Landscape etc.), white balance, high iso noise reduction, light optimizer etc.

No. It is unaffected by any in camera processing (such as those you listed above).
Raw means that the camera did no cooking or preparation to the image.
Good question BTW.

The settings used in picture style will not effect raw files. Other setting such as noise reduction do. Hgh ISO noise reduction is normally set at sandard. I am not familiar with the 60D menu so you may not have this option.

If set to strong it wll effect your detail and contrast even when shooting in raw. Use this only if you are having a problem with noise. If you are trying for better contrast and more detail switch this to low but keep in mind your noise will increase. This would only be recommended if you are using low ISO settings such as 800 or lower.

I would not use strong unless shooting ISO 3200 or above. Also keep in mind if using strong noise reduction your burst rate will be much slower if you are shooting in continuous.

Yes what Festina Lente said is true. But white balance will affect it. Also, those picture styles will affect the LCD screen and how it looks 'on camera'. The LCD shows a jpg preview of the image therefore the LCD is affected by all tis stuff. It will not affect the raw image data.

When shooting raw the generated JPG shown on the LCD is rarely a true representation of the photo taken. It needs to be looked at on the computer to see what you have. I mainly use that screen to check the histogram.

RAW or JPEG, if you set your camera to over expose the shot....it will be over exposed, if you adjust the WB in camera, it will be appear so with your RAW and as well as the JPEG or TIFF file....the same goes with all other settings one selects before the picture is taken. The difference, if you shoot RAW, you can change those settings after the fact non destructively.....with JPEG, it is off to Photoshop to fix at the expense of pixels.

I know with Nikon Raw if you use picture styles the Nikon software (NX2) will see it,but it can also be changed. Adobe software doesn't see picture styles. a Nikon tech.rep lectured at B&H. I bet the same is true for Canon???
