D300 files will work in Elements 6 and newer - but you need the Camera Raw plugin

If you are running CS2 or older you can always go to Adobe's website and download the Adobe DNG Converter, and then process the DNG files. I used to do that with a couple of different cameras. The alternative is to download the free trial of Capture NX and process the RAW files that way. That is the way I prefer to do my RAW processing now. I have found that Adobe CS3's lack of Camera profiles in Camera RAW does a relatively drab job. I hear that is changing in CS4 and Lightroom 2. I can't wait..

Did you manage to sort this out in time? I could PM you the camera raw file for either CS2 or 3. Just let me know.
