Yes, I am using GIMP. I thought it might be the interpolation as well and I tried all of them and I think I got more or less the same results. I will try it again just to make sure. By the time I'm done cropping the image and removing the background, its somewhere around 1200px and then I scale it down to 256px. Maybe starting with a smaller image will help? I will experiment with different original image sizes and see if I can get something to work well.

With the clay tiles, they are all the same texture, just colored differently. The image there works well because there is not much difference in the textures. However, with the pillars, they can vary a lot from faction to faction. Therefore, I find it valuable to have large pictures of the pillars in order to show their details. I suppose the decision is up to you, but that's my argument for having large pictures.
