The calculation is:
The retention of an imported image is the same as it was before (the same level). That means that the retention level is applied to the image at the time of import.
Example1:
If you have an image which has a retention level 2 which means 3 weeks (default), and you import it today - it is valid for 3 weeks from now.
Example2:
If you import an image originally written with retention level 2 (3 weeks at write time) and you import it today, but retention level 2 now means 2 years atm, it means that the image will be kept for the next 2 years from now.
Hope that clears it up. The letter example is only for clarification. The actual retention time of the retention level used at write time is calculated to the actual date.
