Sorry I may have misunderstood you, are you saying that you have a complete filter (File of Type has all the various types), but it defaults to JPEG?
To have it default to all common image types set FilterDefault to -1 (= no selected type) and FilterIndex to 1 (first item is selected).
You can also use TImageEnIO.ExecuteOpenDialog as follows:
sFilename := ImageEnView1.IO.ExecuteOpenDialog('', '', false);
if sFilename <> '' then
ImageEnView1.IO.LoadFromFile(sFilename);
