I've never used Inkscape, but it seems to be an open source counterpart to Adobe Illustrator. It's a vector-based program, where Photoshop and GIMP are raster-based.
The difference is that PS and GIMP work with individual pixels (like photographs), where Illustrator and Inkscape work with vectors (such as a straight line through two points).
They (PS/GIMP <-> Illustrator/Inkscape) overlap to a certain extent, and all of them can be used to create covers, but they are very different programs. If you work with pictures primarily, then Inkscape is probably not the best choice.
