The problem witch jpeg is the compression. The quality of the picture will get worser and worser with every saving. I use png without any compression. Tiff is also a good format, but you should use gimp for saving the pictures with tiff before you insert it into scribus, because there are many different versions of tiff. But GIMP and scribus use the same tif-library. So it's a good decision to save the tiff-pictures with gimp.
