Images appear blurry/pixelated while placing in Photoshop on macOS

Hi,

We're sorry about the trouble while placing your images in Photoshop. Would you mind sharing the version of Photoshop you're using along with your computers macOS version? Looking at the screenshot you've shared, it appears that you have not comminted to the location where to place the image on the canvas. Does the images still appear pixelated/blurry when you accept the placement? If not, it might be due to the app not being able to render the image preview in real time while being placed.

You can try disabling the option to Use Graphics Processor from Photoshop by going to Preference, then Performance. Once done, quit & relaunch Photoshop to check if that helps.

You can also try optimizing the Preferences of Photoshop using the steps suggested here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-photoshop-cc-performance.html

Let us know if it helps!
