How to Choose a Photo Editor Program to Open Automatically
Find a photo-editor program online (many are free to download and use) or purchase one from a store as digital imaging software (such as Adobe Photoshop). Windows uses the default Windows Photo Gallery picture viewer to open photographs. Select your photo editor of choice as the program to open up photographs and .jpg images. Changing the settings will automatically open the photo editor every time you double click on an image or photograph.
