Uh, what size is it? In pixels, not centimeters. Did you scan it?
What resolution did you scan it at? Is it a 24-bit image or an
8-bit image?

How many pixels does your monitor support per pixel?
How many pixels is your image, etc.

On logic!? No, I'm not going to touch it. :-)

Was it a JPEG image? Did it have a color table with it?
Did you load it? When you say "grainy", do you mean the
colors didn't appear right, or that the pixels were
grainy? What IDL command did you use to display it?
Did you try to resize it?
I'm still pretty much in the dark here. :-(
