That should work. Try repairing permissions like 3 times them trying that again.

I've recently installed Photoshop CS on OS X and since then, opening JPG files opens up Photoshop, not preview anymore.
I've tried opening finder, clicking a jpg and selecting 'open with'. I then choose Preview and select 'Always open with this'. The JPG then opens in Preview, but next time I try and open a JPG, photoshop starts.
Can anyone tell me how to release Photoshop's grip on my jpg's and give them back to Preview ?
Thanks,

You need to get info on a JPEG file, select the app you want to open it with in the "open with" panel, then hit CHANGE ALL. Keep in mind that JPEGS that dont exist on your machine when you hit "change all" will have their own preferences for which app opens them.

try launching Internet Explorer. Goto preferences...choose flie handling helpers. scroll down to the JPEG file types and set them all to preview. You could also add a new entry for .jpg and choose preview as the application. Save preferences and quit. Try opening a .jpg after this.
