I'm starting to work on PSE 2022 and went to do something I've been doing for over two years without coming across this problem.
I have a psd file into which I File>Place a jpeg which has already been cropped to 900px x 675 px 72ppi . In PSE 2020 it came in full size and all I had to do was move it into position. When I do exactly the same in PSE 2022 it comes in to the centre of the psd file but much smaller than actual size. I now not only have to move it into position I have to resize it too by dragging the corners. Not a great deal more effort but as I'm doing this 100 times or so a month every little second saved is worth it to me.
Is there something I should have ticked (or unticked) to keep the inserted photo to its correct size. (The psd file is 1000px x 825px 72ppi which leaves me space for a border all round and text above and beneath the inserted photo.)

Nothing has changed when you drag a photo from the photo bin to your canvas. The 'preview' of the placed image (a smart layer) will fit in the canvas if the size in pixels of the dragged jpeg is bigger than the size of the canvas. If it's smaller, it will show centered and smaller in the canvas. Today, most jpegs from cameras or even phones are bigger than the 3600 x 3600 pixels of standard canvases for 12" x 12" prints. So most of them are already filling the canvas, while smaller ones show centered and smaller. This is useful to remind you that the dragged image has an inferior resolution than the canvas. You can enlarge, but it's best to check the quality.

Hi ChrisAnn, I also have PSE 2020 and PSE 2022. I created two files in PSE 2020 following the information you provided. I opened the PSD file in PSE 2022 and, then, did File>Place to bring in the JPEG file. This was the result . . . However, if the JPEG file is 300ppi and the PSD file is 72ppi, I got the same result as you did. When I do exactly the same in PSE 2022 it comes in to the centre of the psd file but much smaller than actual size. |

Both files are 72ppi as they are to go on to a Gardening Club Website.

I've just tried to reproduce my problem so that I could prove that it isn't working ... and, of course, everything is working as it should. Sorry to have bothered you, I've no idea what I was doing wrong yesterday (unless the 'Placed' files were 300ppi as suggested and I just didn't notice). Thanks for your advice, I'll make sure I'm not doing something silly again in future.

ChrisAnn, nothing to be sorry about. Glad to hear all is well now.

ChrisAnn,
Perhaps you used the "Save for Web" command.
It always sets the resolution of the exported image to 72 ppi
(without changing the original pixel dimensions).
