Free Download of Corel PHOTO-PAINT® for Linux® Now Available

Ottawa, Canada – June 29, 2000 – Corel Corporation (NASDAQ: CORL, TSE:
COR) today announced Corel PHOTO-PAINT® for Linux®, Corel’s
photo-editing, image composition and painting application, is now
available for free download.

Image-editing enthusiasts looking for a new, first-rate Linux product to
transform their images can download Corel PHOTO-PAINT for Linux at
www.linux.corel.com, www.cnet.com and www.tucows.com.

Corel PHOTO-PAINT for Linux boasts the same user interface as the
Windows® version.  This familiar interface allows artists to work
effortlessly on multiple platforms without changing file formats or
learning another application.  Common tools, effects and impressive
documentation make painting and photo-editing in Linux a breeze!

Corel PHOTO-PAINT for Linux includes an impressive number of
professional features — from tools for precision editing to artistic
brushes for original painting.  Web graphics are easy to design and
publish using the advanced Web image features.  Publishing documents to
PDF for easy transportation and professional output is made simple with
the Publish to PDF Wizard. And enhancing a photograph is as easy as a
click of a mouse and the stroke of an artistic brush.

Other Corel PHOTO-PAINT for Linux features include:

• Powerful interactive tools and live effects
• CorelTUTOR™, a step by step learning tool to help familiarize users
with terms and concepts of Corel PHOTO-PAINT - Integrated and extensive
online help and tutors
• CMYK support
• PANTONE® color palettes
• Undo/Redo Docker with almost unlimited levels of processing
• Compatibility among the most popular graphics file formats including
the GIMP and Adobe® Photoshop®, plus many more popular raster formats

“Corel PHOTO-PAINT for Linux is filled with award-winning features to
extend the creative boundaries of digital artists designing on the Linux
platform,” said Ian LeGrow, vice-president, creative products group for
Corel Corporation. “We are scheduled to release our full graphics
solution in the summer: CorelDRAW Graphics Suite for Linux. For the
first time users can enjoy a full graphics suite for Linux that is
supported by a major software vendor and is compatible with other
graphics offerings including the GIMP and Adobe Photoshop.”

The retail version of CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite for Linux®, which
includes Corel PHOTO-PAINT for Linux, will ship later this summer.
Pricing is still to be determined.
