What’s happening here Benny, is that Photoshop Elements can’t open Canon raw files so it uses the .JPG file Canon DSLRs include in the file. All you did with Elements was as Steve said "rotated the preview image". Photoshop CS can open to actual raw data in a .CRW file. D300’s are really only a consumer camera with interchangable lenses. Given the market they have found, I wonder why Canon bothered to include raw data capabilities in them.
About the best you can do here is get hold of "irfanview" or a similar program which will work with raw data and once you have manipulated the images, save them as lossless .JPG files. The file size will end up about 60% larger than a Canon .jpg file but they will stay rotated! Doug

But I had already opened some of them, at least, in PhotoShop Elements and rotated and saved them- or so I thought. Do you mean that if I rotate them in the Canon on-screen browser while downloading from the CF card they are only pretending to rotate? Ah just doan unnerstan 🙂

RTFM. You are not rotating the pictures. You are rotating the preview icons in the browser.
Open the picture. Select image, rotate, etc.. Then save the picture.
