I am working on a book which each chapter has an image .jpg or .png. The code that accomplishes this is:
\newcommand{\thechapterimage}{}
\newcommand{\chapterimage}[1]{\renewcommand{\thechapterimage}{#1}}
\def\thechapter{\arabic{chapter}}
\def\@makechapterhead#1{
\thispagestyle{empty}
{\centering \normalfont\sffamily
\ifnum \c@secnumdepth >\m@ne
\if@mainmatter
\startcontents
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
\node at (current page.north west)
{\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
\node[anchor=north west,inner sep=0pt] at (0,0) {\includegraphics[width=\paperwidth]{\thechapterimage}};
%Comentando las 3 líneas de abajo quita la caja de contenidos en el título del capítulo
\draw[rounded corners=10pt, fill=white,opacity=0.5] (1cm,0cm) rectangle (8cm,-9.3cm); %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% minitabla
\node[anchor=north west] at (1cm,.25cm) {\parbox[t][8cm][t]{6.5cm}{\huge\bfseries\flushleft \printcontents{l}{1}{\setcounter{tocdepth}{2}}}};
\draw[anchor=west] (5cm,-9cm) node [rounded corners=25pt,fill=white,fill opacity=.6,text opacity=1,draw=colordominante,draw opacity=1,line width=2pt,inner sep=15pt]{\huge\sffamily\bfseries\textcolor{black}{\thechapter\ ---\ #1\vphantom{plPQq}\makebox[22cm]{}}};
\end{tikzpicture}};
\end{tikzpicture}}\par\vspace*{230\p@}
In the main document, you would call the name of a figure just before the chapter command:
\chapterimage{imagen4.png}
\chapter{Estadística y probabilidad}
Whose generated image is
The question is whether it is possible to modify the previous code where a .tex file that directly draws the image is inserted, something like \chapterimage{\input{pascal.tex}} this because if only one image is included it loses quality.

Best Answer
I am not sure if this qualifies as an answer. However, if you do not convert your self-created image to png put just keep it in the pdf format, there won't be any quality loss.
The reason why I am posting an answer here is to tell you that you should really not nest
tikzpictures. And there is no need for it either. You could just use this great answer to put whatever on top of your included graphics. Specifically, there is a local coordinate system coming with that answer which makes the placement a bit more intuitive. (Note that here because of the absolute positioning and the fact that thenorth westanchor is used,ybecomes larger when moving down.) YourPreambulo.texfile then becomesWhether or not these are the precise locations of the title and the table of contents, I don't know, but with Jake's local coordinate system that is being used here it should be straightforward to move things to the desired position.
