iPhoto lets you set one of three double-click options in the preferences for editing images: changing to the edit view, opening the image in an edit window, or opening the image in an external editor. If you have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, you’ll probably prefer to use that to edit your images most of the time, but sometimes you’ll want to do a quick tweak in iPhoto. Sure, you could highlight the image and click on the Edit button, but there’s an easier way.

If you have preferences set to open the image in an external editor, just hold down the Option key when you double-click. The image will open in an edit window in iPhoto.

If you have preferences set to open the image in an edit window in iPhoto, holding down the Option key and double-clicking opens the image in the edit view.

Finally, if you have preferences set to open the image in edit view, holding down the Option key and double-clicking opens the image in an edit window.
