Inserting a picture by dragging MASSIVLY changes its size

[Dreamer]

Hello there,

I have two questions about inserting a picture into an already existing document.

1.) In PhotoPlus, there was the possibility to insert a picture via the "File"-Menu. I haven't yet found that option in Affinity Photo - is it hidden anywhere I haven't looked yet?

2.) Of course you can always simply drag a picture from its original folder into an already within Affinity created document. Only this massively, MASSIVELY changes its size.

I have attached two pictures two show what I mean. The peony painting below is about 2400px times 2400 px big. If I start Affinity Photo and then open the png from within Affinity I get the left picture: A document is created that is about 2400px times 2400 pixel big.

I created an empty document of about 2400px times 2400 px then dragged the png into it. I would have expected the flower to exactly fill out the document. But in fact, it opens up so big that I can only see the tips of a few petals.

How can that happen and why?

 

Thank you very much in advance,

Dreamer

In foto you can insert a picture by file>place.

and i guess that the new created file is at 72 dpi and the dragged file is at 300 dpi or higher.
