Perhaps you can resize your images in Gimp to get to a higher
resolution. Eg, set your screen to max resolution and then take a
screenshot and then resize the image to the correct size for the page
frame and highest DPI it will get to.

Will be ok and with the new JPEG exports your PDFs will be an ok size
too.

Scribus can correctly set your colours up/show you the colours if you
use ICC profiles. You should not have any issues with matching your
expected results with your final output then.
