imessage image opening in wrong app

MBP using ventura.


I recently updated the photo app GIMP.


Now when opening a photo in messages app, it opens the image in gimp, I dont want this, I want images to open in preview.


A photo image in finder is opened by preview, just in messages I have this problem.


MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.2

Control key and click the image


As sub menu should appear - 1 image below


Choose More Info


Look down for " Open With " 2 image


Change the Default to Preview - 3 image


Then, to insure all images of this kind are opened in Preview - Look for Change ALL and click Change ALL.


Now images of this file type ( extension should open in Preview ) 4 image
