Changing The Default Application For Image Files

Yo boys and girls.

i have a problem, i want to change the default viewer for my CR2 Files (Canon RAW Format)

I would like to associate them with either Adobe Bridge 10, or Preview.

At the moment Adobe Photoshop 10 (CS3) is the default viewer. Which is fine for viewing 1 image. but if i want to quickly look at 100 images, its not wise to open them in CS3.

So basically i want to be able to select a group of CR2 (raw) files, and then open them with a double click. They then need to open in Preview or Adobe Bridge.

CHANGING THE DEFAULT VIEWER FOR ALL CR2 FILES ON MY MAC!

:):):)

i hope you chaps and chappettes can help. I have a crate of chopped tomatoes for the best answer!

Select one of the files in Finder, then do apple-i. This is Get Info, and brings up a property sheet on the file. In that window you should see a section named "Open With". Choose Preview or whatever. You should then also have the ability to say "always open with this application", which will tell the system's launch services to map that application to that file type...
