Finder's "open" command has the "using" option to specify the app to open the file with.

I cannot tell you why Preview isn't scriptable, but can tell you how to open JPG files with it:


How about this:

set the fileToBeOpened to choose file of type {"jpg", "jpeg"}
tell application "Finder" to open the fileToBeOpened

Of course, the Finder has to be set to open all JPG files with Preview, but that's a one-time easy thing to do. And equally of course, change the first line of the script as needed to identify the file to be opened.
