Does GIMP have a gamma setting?  When I was creating a background with image
maps made with Terragen I had the same problem, they didn't look the same
in POV.  Then I found Terragen's default gamma setting was 1.5 and I had
POV set to 1.  After I compromised and set them both to 1.275 everything
looked right.
