Hi, my name is Ognian Ivanov and I'm working in the sphere of digital manipulation primarily 2D graphics and design and developing software for graphics processing.
I know it will sound like a self-advertisement for that I apologize, but I would like to present you my latest project - seamless texture generator:
http://dws-slice.com/
I've decided to register in this forum on the recommendation of my friends artists. I heard that the established members of this forum are serious authors who could give me valuable information and criticism on my texture generating program. I hope you'll show interest and give me feedback. Thank you.

Looks cool! Though seamless textures aren't too hard to create already, it's definitely useful! I'm not at home right now, but I'll make sure to download it later and try it out.
I agree that the 'free request' form is little bit confusing, the site is recently online so we have many things to improve. What we mean about 'experience with Slice' is your expirience with the trial version of the program - let's say that you've already tried 'Slice' under trial mode, you like it and now you want it for yourself without paying for a license...
Thank you for your reply we'll definitely try to make the 'free request' form more understandable.
I don't understand why you choose to use ISO size (A2 A4 etc..) Aren't those format rarely used in computer graphics?
Also not being able to make an image bigger than 1664x2368 (A2) isn't really nice. I like to use 2048x2048 for example. Is that a bug or something? Or did I miss the option.
The realtime resize checkbox has no effect on my computer. If I uncheck it the program still updates the size everytime I type a digit.
If your tool supported higher resolution I'd probably buy it
Yes, ISO 216 standart is generaly used in printing documents, 'Save As Rectangle Filled With Texture' is expected to be used for making backgrounds of such a documents.
You can't make images bigger than 2000 x 2000 pixels this limitation is embedded in the program because using huge images with less powerfull PC could make Slice unstable or even crash.
The real-time resize feature is related with the up and down arrows of the control, hold down one of these arrows to see the actual difference.
There is no need to fill the request form in order to use the trial version, neither you need to have a registration in the site , just go to: Downloads > DWS SLICE, here:

Here's direct link to the zip archive that contains the program:
