Seamless Texture Generator is a tool for making seamless textures from photos.
You can find the website here:
Seamless Texture Generator (http://www.seamlesstexturegenerator.com)
And here is a link to the updated demo:
Seamless Texture Generator Demo (http://www.seamlesstexturegenerator.com/STGDEMO.zip)
The website hasn't been updated to list the new features yet, so I'll list them here:
You can now use the arrow keys to move between tabs.
You are now warned if you accidentally enter a very large final texture size, and asked if you're sure you wish to proceed.
A bug which prevented PSD and DDS files from being loaded was fixed.
Updating the texture now automatically switches to either the final view, OR the tiled final view, depending on which view you were looking at when the update occurred.
There are now keyboard shortcuts for load, save, quit, and help. These are CTRL-O, CTRL-S, and CTRL-Q, and F1. These shortcuts are listed on the menus.
Fixed the file load and save dialog boxes. Files will now save in the selected file type regardless of whether you enter the file extension or not, and selecting a specific file type will now display all files of that filetype in the directory.
You can now drag the edges of the perspective transform quad by clicking on the center of the edge. Additionally, the vertices that will be dragged if you click are now highlighted.
The controls have been rearranged a bit, and now has a scrollbar so you can scroll through all the controls if they don't fit in the window.
You can now sharpen the final image! The sharpening control uses a new sharpening algorithm I invented which doesn't suffer from the bright halos around edges you get with unsharp masking, and which enhances the texture significantly.

The update is free, so if you purchased it already, the update should be sitting in your inbox right now.
