I need the Raw Editor Plug-In for Elements 8

Question

Is there anyone out there that can please help me?? I have Adobe Elements 8 and need a raw photo editor plug-in so I can finally do some real photography. Apparently Adobe does not have customer support for this issue and directed me to the forum.

Can someone provide me with a raw editor plug-in for Adobe Elements 8?

Please, I'm desperate!

Photoshop elements 8 already includes a camera raw plugin, but if your photos are from a relatively new camera, pse 8 won't be able to be updated to the necessary camera raw plugin. If that's the case, then you could use the adobe dng converter to convert the camera raw files to dng copies which pse 8 should open.

What camera and operating system are you using?
