Comment (by costdev):

 As I don't know the context in which your site has been created, I
 provided three options for you to evaluate to suit your needs.

 Modifying your theme's code would only be relevant if it was a custom
 theme, or a child theme, that you developed. In that context, if that was
 going to be your theme going forward and you weren't comfortable with
 plugin development, then it might have fitted your needs best. However,
 generally speaking, a plugin is a much safer option for this.

 I added the above filter as a plugin and was able to upload a new image
 without it being scaled down to 2560px. I'm not sure why your results were
 different.
