The extension is called External Editors for Photos and this link will take you to the App Store: Download it from the Mac App Store!


Then when you edit with Preview or any image editor that's located in your Applications folder the changes will be reflected in the thumbnail and you can do a revert to original at any time.


How are you currently getting the photo to open in Preview?
