Corel has marketed a limited edition of Photo-Paint called Corel Photo-Paint SELECT with HP scanning hardware, e.g., the HP ScanJet 5p scanners. In 2006, Corel released version 13 as Photo-Paint X3, employing this naming convention for subsequent releases as well as for CorelDraw, included with Photo-Paint in CorelDraw Graphics Suite. Its primary market competitor is Adobe Photoshop. Corel markets the software for Windows and Mac OS operating systems, previously having marketed versions for Linux (Version 9, requiring Wine). IMO PP has a long way to go, I doubt very much you could have achieved that sharpening correction I applied above with PP.Corel Photo-Paint is a raster graphics editor developed and marketed by Corel since 1992. PS has Smart Sharpen which is way more powerful than basic 'ole Unsharp. The sharpening is way more subtle and useable. Then a little bit of sharpening, but not much, Usually with Unsharp Mask, so PP can do that I'm sure, but I am liking Topaz InFocus,a 10 year old plugin that wouldn't run on my old box as it was too slow.Tell me I'm not looking in the right place, please!

PS is competent, PP is so basic its laughable.

If the Shadow needs a lot of lifting I'll apply some Colour Noise removal (much more likely with my old 7D).Usually bringing up the shadows and taking down the highlights (I have Highlight Protection ON in my Canon) along with a midtone contrast.

It assumes your image has a rectangle in it that needs correcting, which is rarely the case for me. Lens correction, where is this in PP? Even if my Camera (5DSr ) and Lens (Sigma Art 20mm f1.4) isn't listed because PS is way out of date, there is very useable manual correction.In PS these are the processes I undertake and in this order when I'm processing my work photos. Right, having got the 2023 trial installed I gave it a go.
