When you right-click on a photo in Photos High Sierra it presents a drop down menu containing the "Edit With" command. When you select "Edit With" it slides out a menu of Apps on your Mac to use for editing photos. Many of my photo editing Apps are not on this list. Is there a way to remove and/or add photo editing Apps to this "Edit With" menu? How does it chose which Apps to put on there? Here is a screen shot of what I am talking about:
iPad 2, iOS 4.3.1
I know of no way to change that list and Apple has not published how they determine what is there - what Photo editor do you have that is not in the list?
And several people have noted difficulty with using the Edit with capability - for now it probably is worthwhile investing $0.99 in the External Editor for Photos Extension for Photos which works very well and have been in use for over a year and seems trouble free

That's interesting. I just started dabbling with this new feature today for the first time. I didn't know there are issues. Maybe I'll need External Editors for a while yet.
I've switched to Luminar 2018 as external editor. I can call it directly from the Edit panel in Photos as an extension.
Got it - Thanks

The warning you get is this:
As long a you've finished editing in PS and have saved the file as a jpeg (or what the file was originally) you can edit with Photos.
Yeah, that's not actually correct. I have a number of photo editing apps, in Applications, but I never see anything but Preview, Color Sync and Grab.
update to my last post: I did have success with photoshop a week ago, for some reason I’m having issues now. It is not working with “edit with” nor the 3rd party Extensions app.😠
My PS C3 app is in a subfolder in the Applications folder and it is shown. However, my PSE app is not, regardless of where it is located in the Applications folder.
You might do as Larry suggested and get the the 99¢ External Editors For Photos from the App Store. This user tip shows how to use it: External Editors in Photos Are Here
In Photos 3 it's access in the Edit mode here:
