"The same thing happened when I bought A.L.E. Two weeks after buying it there were no less than three free landscape editors. All of them doing the same job as the one I bought."
Amon, Rob's tool does NOT do the same thing as the one you just bought. That's crazy talk! :-)
His tool doesn't correct lighting across the image, or allow you to remove perspective from the image. When blending, it only does a simple alpha blend with noise. The maximum size of the source image is limited by your screen resolution. There is no load dialog, no save dialog. No ability to modify the size of the output texture. No abiltiy to change the radius of the area blended.
No offense intended to Rob here. There's a reason it took me six weeks to write my program!
(I spent two weeks on the algorithms alone, and the interface has taken me a firther four weeks so far.)
The idea that you wasted your money on my tool because Rob's tool now exists is silly! It's not like Rob here has developed the first free seamless texture tool. My tool exists, not because no other tools like it exist, but because it does a better job than the other tools. Including Rob's here.
That's why you should be happy you bought it... Because your textures will tend to come out looking great, even if you're not a good at making art.
