Gnome Photo Printer is intended for printing photos in an easy way. Just
drag your Photos from Nautilus to the Gnome Photo Printer window and
drop it. Make some selections like Photo or Paper size, hit Preview or
Print, and see your pictures printed.

F-Spot is meant to be an easy-to-use photo management application.  It
allows for importing of your existing photo collections, tagging photos
with identifiers, as well as doing simple edits of photos (e.g.
rotating).
