Right mouse click on the edit button > choose an image editor

Have you changed the file associations??
you can get around the problem by rt clicking on the file and choose properties, then under the OPENS WITH tab choose CHANGE the pick your desired editor. You can then check the little box at the bottom to always use your chosen proggy.

There is a way to do it in the registry, but that will take some digging.
