I need to place photos into a Publisher doc. The photos have to be at least 300 dpi. The jpg photos are in large proportions -- 50" wide -- but apparently only 72 dpi. (I determine this, perhaps erroneously, by opening the photo in Designer and going to Document Setup.)  I'm on a Mac. 

So how do I get a 300 dpi image into the Publisher doc? Do I reduce the dimensions (to, say 7") and increase the dpi to 300 in Designer, then export to jpg, then drag and drop? Or is it better to just drag and drop the great-big image right into Publisher and then reduce it? Or what? And should I export the Design doc to jpg or just leave it as .afdesign and drop it into the Publisher doc? Or what?

Make a 300 dpi Publisher Document of the correct size in inches, cm whatever unit you like. Place that huge jpg into the document where you want it and the size in inches you want it. It will be denser than 300 dpi so all will be fine.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 
Affinity Designer 2.5.7 | Affinity Photo 2.5.7 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.7 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
