Very frustrating image import issue - please help

When at look at the info panel for the image in question, it is showing the correct size. See below...

It's downloaded from the internet, original size is 4256 x 2832. When I bring it into photoshop it is saying its small. I did not scale the image at all before or after it was brought into photoshop. This is so frustrating.

That's not 4256 pixels, its a quarter of that.

Is this the downloaded file from the internet or the Photoshop file you are dragging into?

If you look at the dimensions, you've reduced the size by a lot, when you enlarge that image it will appear pixilated. 

Are you using the image for printing or for use onscreen say for example for  the web?

(Use Smart Objects when changing the size of images to protect their resolution.)

What @Derek Cross was referring to was the Image Size in Photoshop>Image>Image Size menu, not the original size you are dragging in.

Post a screen shot of that dialog box.

Set View > 100%, take a screenshot and post it here.

100% represents one image pixel by exactly one screen pixel. It's the only way to see the pixel structure accurately.

When I import the image into photoshop it is not a Smart Object becuase I just downloaded it off the web. If I try to re-size to smaller or larger using the Image Size tool, it only makes the image even worse. The problem is its coming into photoshop worse than it should be. The image size is 4256 x 2832 like mentioned before.

I'm using the latest 2023 version of Photoshop, and tried older versions but this keeps happening. 

I have a lot of disk space and I purge my memory constantly. 128 GB available. Working on an iMac Pro 2017.

By the way, which version of Photoshop and OS and how much RAM and spare hard disk capacity do you have?

Are you able to open other images successfully in Photoshop?
