My pictures look grainy. Why?

Canon EOS Beginners' FAQ V - Misc
If you have noticeable grain or speckles on your film-derived prints it’s very probable that your negatives are highly underexposed (ie: they were not exposed to sufficient light). When photo printing machines encounter underexposed negatives they tend to boost the brightness to compensate, which tends to reveal bad speckly grain. Take a look at your negatives by holding them up to the light. If they seem very transparent and light then they’re underexposed.

How do I get tkbiff to display pictures of people or picons?

Note that it's based on an older version of tkbiff, but I don't think the changes to the config file were major.

Why does the picture have noise and look grainy?

Linux OV511 Driver - Frequently Asked Questions
This is a problem at low light levels, and may be also due to subtle bugs in the code. The cause is most likely the OV7610 settings we are currently using. I am looking into this problem.
