Is there any way to make Photoshop CC instead of Preview the default app for opening .jpegs?

Yep. In the macOS Finder, select a JPEG file and hit cmd + i.

Then change the Open With pop-up from Preview to Photoshop.

Doesn't Photoshop installer set that up on you mac. I believe it should. I use windows and The installed set Photoshop the default foe Jpeg,  Did  you remove a Photoshop version after you   install the latest Photoshop  version.  That may have messed with your Mac File type application association. I have seen that on windows so  I do do not use Adobe's uninstallers to remove version of Phoroshop on Windows I just delete them.  Then windows registy is still set up for the newer version of Photoshop.

What Jeff said is how you do this on a Mac.

Adding to what Jeff said, you also need to click the "Change All" button to change the association for all jpegs and not just the one.
