First off Photoshop can't handle RAW images. That's what Adobe Camera RAW does. If you try to open a raw image in PS then PS starts up camera raw for you

I don't think iPhoto will do what you want. But the good news is that no information is lost if the TIFF files are 16-bits per channel.

You would have to import the images into a folder using Image Capture then open them in Adobe's Camera Raw, save them then move them to iPhoto. The reverse order of are doing now

Either that or continue on like you are or,...

I use Aperture but still don't transfer the RAW images to Photoshop. I process the images in Aperture as much as I can then send then to PS using the PSD format files. This way PS never sees the raw files only color corected PSDs. You could do that in iPhoto too.

You should be able to launch Photoshop from iPhoto when editing a RAW file just fine, the issue is likely that Photoshop well Adobe Camera Raw actually, needs to be updated to include support for the D300 RAW file format.

Actually, Camera RAW supports the D300 since version 5. However, Camera RAW version 5 and later are not supported by CS3...

Bad wording on my part... I meant the original poster's Adobe Camera RAW version likely needs to be upgraded not ACR itself.
