BACKING UP CANON RAW FILES ON PSE 2023

After a lot of effort getting PSE 2023 installed on my second PC (thanks for all Community support - superb), I created a full backup (all images and tags etc) on PC1 and restored it to PC2 - all worked; however, for some reason the Canon RAW files did not backup.

Any ideas, please?  Have I missed a button to click when starting the full backup?  And is there a way to copy those RAW files from PC1 and transfer to PC2?

 

An aside, initially I couldn't install RAW Editor 14.4 on PC2.  Eventually discovered that all Adob Background Processes had to be closed, then I could install via the PSE 2023 Editor.

    Why do you think the raw files were not backed up?  You need to make sure that you have installed the  Camera Raw editor on PC2.  Open the PSE Help menu and choose to Install Camera Raw.  It is a separate download from the main program.  This will cure your raw file problem if you are seeing the files in the Organizer grid with a generic icon instead of a photo thumbnail.

    What directory do you have the Raw files stored on the first computer?

    My RAW images are stored in the same folder as the jpegs or in a sub-folder in the same master folder as the jpegs..

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

     

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.
