After much time spent with picasa, i dumped it. It started scanning all my local and LAN drives - scanning 40 GB of pictures over the WiFi - nobody thought about that? I hate when the machine tries to be smarter. After that I discovered that there was a limitation on the size of the picture - kinda lame, if you ask me.

So, here it is:

There's not much difference at first glance. But if you look at each detail:
- texture of the car;
- borders of images;
- tree leaves;
- smoke
- cables;
- wrenches;
- hands & eyes of the guys;
- colors;
etc. you see every time difference.

I wanted to let you pick the better pictures of each pair (note I didn't put any quotes) without letting you know which comes from where, unfortunately I couldn't (didn't know how to) remove the bar at top right of the ones coming from XBMC.
I don't know much about this stuff - interpolation, anti aliasing, filtering have very vague meaning for me, but my eyes don't lie. Don't forget that the brain doesn't have the time too see these differences - it's on the auto pilot mode. With only one difference from the machine - it gets tired. Instead of enjoying.
Didn't have time to analyze the moving aspect of it, it already took me some time to do the screen shots.
Please let me know what you think.
