Edit in iphoto 11 just duplicates the photo but won't open the edit tools. How can I fix this?

When I try to edit a photo in iphoto, I select a photo and click on the edit button but all it does is duplicate the photo and doesn't give me any editing tools. How can I fix this?

I have tried exporting a photo, importing it again but the same thing happens.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

What version of iPhoto? Sounds like iPhoto 11


In the iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced pane what have you set at 'Edit Photos:'? If you're editing in iPhoto it should say 'in iPhoto'.
