I did a lot of scaling, and the gimp certainly works fine with this kind
of job, as long as you allow it to use grayscale and interpolation. It
also doesn't add distortion normally.
Putting up an example to look at somewhere might be helpful.
If the gimp indeed results in bad quality you might look into imagemagick,
which allows you to select the filter form (lanczos or mitchell are two
that are worth checking out).
