Trying to put images into photoshop but they end up distorted

I googled for solutions and checked forums but cannot find anything...I'm trying to make a fitness flyer for a friend, but when I put pictures into it, the images become distorted and look awful. For example: http://imgur.com/a/azZEB

The thing is, the image is still there and looks fine when I export it, it's just impossible to work with in actual photoshop. I have tried updating and uninstalling and reinstalling, nothing so far has worked.

I'm really new to photoshop so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this. I am using 2015.5 CC version, on a macbook pro on OS X 10.9.5. Any ideas on how to remedy this? Thanks in advance.

Something is wrong with the image you've uploaded, is this how you see it on your screen

If so, then there is a Graphics Card issue here.

Go to File > Open > select image from your computer.  Hit OK.

Repeat for other images in your project. 

Images opened this way will not be distorted.  If they seem distorted, move your Navigator's slider level to 100% or lower.   See screenshot.

This kind of works...but I still cannot copy and past images without them becoming distorted. I can't keep on using Photoshop without being able to copy and paste. How do I fix this?

What is the poster's height, width and PPI in pixels?

What is the height, width and PPI of your various images?

What method are you using to "copy & paste"?
