First of all, make sure you are not re-sampling your images on pdf 
export, as this can cause problems. However, it is also important that 
the images you start with have enough detail in them for display at 
higher zooms, the guideline that most people use when working with 
scribus is 300dpi, note that the gimp defaults to much lower 90dpi as 
this has traditonaly been used for on-screen media e.g websites. 
However this can' cope with any zooming in on the image, for example 
for large screens or zoom to fit on pdf.
