Corel PHOTO-PAINT

Corel PHOTO-PAINT is a bitmap graphics editor sold by Corel, a software company with headquarters in Canada. PhotoPaint does not have a large market share but is comparable with Photoshop in terms of its features. While just about every version of Photo-Paint released managed to keep up with Photoshop s features, Photo-Paint introduced several innovations of its own, including text on a curve which predated Photoshop by two years.

The current version is Corel PHOTO-PAINT 12. It is not sold by itself, but instead included with CorelDRAW. Its main uses are image manipulation and web graphics. As of version 10, Corel no longer makes a Apple Macintosh version. Version 9 was made available for Linux, however, it was less of an actual port as it depended on Wine_(software) to run. It was released as freeware.
