I tried changing the dpi in photoshop and it didn't work.

As an example, when I open one of my jpeg renderings in photoshop, the image size reads as 12.5 inches x 5.44 inches at 72 dpi. When I copy it into one of my layouts (also in photoshop), the image shrinks down to 3 inches x 1.26 inches and I am forced to enlarge it (I want it at least 6 inches wide). When I enlarge the image, it is horribly distorted and blurry, whereas the original rendering is quite crisp and clean. I do not understand why it shrinks when I put it in another document in the same program. I would rather shrink the original rendering down to the size I want because there is a much smaller chance of distortion. I just cannot figure out why the size changes when I copy and paste within the same program.
