Pen’s answer is the correct one, I believe. At least, that’s the way I would handle it. I have used that technique for PDFs, which I prefer to open in Acrobat rather than in Preview. The “Open With” item has a dropdown menu that allows you to choose the application you want to use to open the file and, as he says, the “Change All” button makes it universal for that file type.
Note that it works only for the specific file extension that you are changing. If you do this for a .jpg file, all .jpgs will open in Photoshop, but other image files, such as .tif or .png, will still open in whatever application they default to, so you have to do this for each file type that you want to change.
