Imported pictures are grainy

Question

Looking for advice on troubleshooting this problem. My images are clear and crisp in other programs but massively grainy once i import them into Photoshop elements 15, and again are fine once i have edited them, saved them, and reopened them in a different program. (see example images)

Im running windows 10, Photoshop elements 15, both RAW and JPG are grainy. Please help or if there is a number i can call to talk with Adobe that would work too.

Your image is perfect, without any 'grain' (pixellisation or noise)

If you want to see the real pixel detail, zoom to 100% view. Zooming to 50%, 25% will also give you a good view without pixellisation on your display. You are on 16,67% zoom which entails display resizing artifacts.

Tip:

Double click on the magnifying glass to zoom to 100%, on the hand tool to fit screen.
