Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Crosti is an open-source tool that allows the users to easily create cross stitch schemes from custom images. Also, you can resize and rotate images, change image palettes and reduce the number of colors and make, save, print and preview the cross stitch scheme.
Also, it has support for the most popular image formats:
- Input images: BMP, GIF, ICO, JPEG, JPG, MNG, PBM, PGM, PNG, PPM, SVG, TIF, TIFF, XBM, XPM
- Output cross stitch designs: BMP, ICO, JPEG, JPG, PNG, PPM, TIF, TIFF, XBM, XPM, PDF, CST (crosti scheme text file)
The latest version available is Crosti 1.12, which has been released a while ago, coming with small changes only.
