i am using, Edit> preferences> Timeline to change the default duration of photo. when i make the change, premier is not implementing it. 

 

ie, i changed the default form 2 seconds to 4 seconds, then i insert a photo and its still at a 2 sec duration?

Please make sure that you close Premiere and restart it after you make the change in Preferences.

What is the frame rate of the sequence?

Are you using audio time units for the sequence timecode?

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn’t work, try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site. If NVIDIA, do a clean installation of the latest Studio Driver (NOT the Game Driver)

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

to piggy back off my original post, after the change mentioned above, premiere is inserting horizontially oriented photes at 3.29 sec and vertical photos at 2.14 seconds after i changed the default to 4 seconds.  not sure why the discrepency or the neither are going in at my 4 second default?
