grainier
Less smooth, visually
Grainier is the comparative form of grainy, describing something with more visible grain or texture than something else.
A photograph might look grainier when shot in low light.
Film grain, wood grain, or the texture of coarse sand can all be grainier: The old footage was grainier than I remembered.
