Print all your photos with Linux, now with advanced features like: color management, cropping, easy layout control and much more...

Krokus is intended to be a fully functional equivalent of many printing software available on Windows. Its name is in honor of Polish enlargers which were used by many generations of photographers in Poland.

This application (initially) was a part of my thesis at Politechnika Świętokrzyska (University of Technology in Kielce, Poland), now I would like to share it with others and still develop it :)
