Seriously, if you really want to make textures don't use filters like these. It looks like crap, the fading is extremely obvious.
You'd be better off getting a program like Photoshop (though I also managed to do that in Paint.Net!), taking 2 or more photos of the same texture and cut/crop/copy/paste/draw/lay them on top of each other and so on until they tile without seeing any of these obvious fading thingies. It's more work, of course, but it just looks a 1000 times better.
I really have problems describing what I mean, I hope it's understandable.
For example I also make textures once in a while:

No filter was used, and they look a lot better with a bit of handicraft (at least things like leaves, some surfaces might also look good with a filter).
(Sorry if this looks like advertising - If I indented to do advertising I'd open a thread for it and not hijack others ^^)
