My canvas is 1200x628 @ 72ppi. When I try placing an image on the canvas (I have tried mutliple sizes of images) and the image shows up as this tiny little square (see screenshot). The image I placed below is 1366x768.... why is it showing up so small? And when I'm trying to transform the image, it is lagging so bad. Someone please help me figure this out. How do I fix the image placing problem and optimize photoshop to not lag so much?

This is odd. What has changed from image #1 at 2% to image #2 at 100% assuming the same res?

And what are the readings for Scratch Size and Efficiency?

I changed the image size. When I opened the image size box before, the image was way bigger which doesn't make any sense because I paced the image from my desktop and that image was 1366x768... I feel so confused.

Try resetting Your Photoshop preferences. Photoshop's resize placed images to fit canvas does not seem to be scaling the object corrrectly on your machine. And Transform should not thake that much time.
