Can someone tell me how to set the default program for viewing .jpeg and .tiff files? Every time I click on one, Apples Preview is the default viewer. I would like to set Adobe Photoshop as the default viewer. When you right click on an image, it shows the selection list of available programs to open that specific type of image, and it shows Preview as the default, I looked around, but could not find a way to change it.
Any help is appreciated. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Get Info on a .jpeg or a .tiff, go to the Open With part of that window, choose the app you want, then click Change All to make it the default (must do once for both file formats).
