How can I change the default settings for opening jpg files.

jpg files processed and Saved in PSE4 (Mac) always open in PSE.

How can I get them to open in Preview by default?

If you are storing them in iphoto go preferences and change the edit in to any choice but elements.

Thanks for the fast reply. However, I am storing them in folders, not iPhoto.

BTW, the folder's Detailed View shows jpgs processed in PSE as "Adobe Photoshop Elements JPEG File" whereas other jpgs show up as just plain ol' "JPEG Image"

Anything marked "Adobe Photoshop Elements JPEG File" opens in PSE.
Anything marked "JPEG Image" opens in Preview (what I want).

Select one file

To open one of your photoshop files --- right click (control/click) and select "Open with"---choose "Preview"

To change/open all photoshop files--- right click---select "Get info" ---- select "Open with"----choose "Preview" --- select "Change all"
