If you are use gimp always watch the image quality when you save. Sometimes gimp, for what ever reason will save a image at less quality. So you might start with a high quality image but end with something of far less quality. Just make sure the slider stays at 100% every time you save.

Gimp is free so I guess you get what you pay for.

If you are saving as a .JPEG, that is also with Photoshop. JPGs are compressed, so the image will lose quality. I always save as a PNG, no quality loss.
Think of it this way:
PNG - WAV or FLAC
JPG - MP3

I think that's one of the things new cover makers dont know. Heck I didnt. Because of that alot of my earlier made covers suffered that fate.

Jup that's one reason though jpg artifacting is only marginally visible at hg settings.

Still I always scan as a TIFF and work in photoshop as a psd. Still in the end you have to go the jpg. route as we only host those due to space issues.
