Why do dots appear when I open a photo as if there is a selection?
Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
Does turning on »Deactivate Native Canvas« (Photoshop > Preferences > Technology Previews) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

I disabled the graphics processor in preferences and the dots are gone. Maybe this version of photoshop is old?

What is the exact version you are using?
It might also indicate that your GPU driver is out-of-date.

Yeah, that is fairly old …
When one decides to stick with obsolete software one should make sure one is able to roll back any and all software and hardware updates in case they »break« the set-up.
