Corel PHOTO-PAINT is a raster graphics editor created by Corel. The current version is Corel PHOTO-PAINT X4 (14).
As of version 11, Corel increasingly gave attention to the PC photography user; support for the Windows Image Acquisition-interface and Exif was introduced then, as was a Red Eye Removal Tool. The latest version available for Macintosh is version 11. Version 9 was also made available for Linux, however it was less of an actual port as it depended on Wine to run. It was released as freeware and could be downloaded directly from Corel's website, although CorelDRAW 9 for Linux was not freeware.
PHOTO-PAINT functionality can be extended by Photoshop-compatible plugins. They are listed in the 'Effects' menu, below the built-in effects.
A "lite" version of Corel Photo-Paint called Corel Photo-Paint SELECT was the image editing software bundled with HP ScanJet 5p scanners (though possibly not with all units) and perhaps with other HP scanning hardware products.
