OTTAWA - October 18, 2006 - Corel Corporation (NASDAQ:CREL; TSX:CRE) today announced that Visioneer, Inc. has bundled Corel's award-winning Corel® Paint Shop Pro® digital image editing software into their newly released Visioneer OneTouch 9520 Photo Scanner. Announced on October 17th, the Visioneer OneTouch 9520 Photo Scanner captures the finest detail from original images and allows users to store, share, save and edit photos quickly and easily.

"We are very excited about our partnership with Visioneer and we believe that the new release of the Visioneer OneTouch 9520 Photo Scanner integrated with Paint Shop Pro is a winning combination for photo enthusiasts," said Blaine Mathieu, general manager of Corel's Digital Imaging Business Unit. "Paint Shop Pro will enable Visioneer's core users, primarily photographers and advanced hobbyists, to scan their older photos taken in traditional formats and easily fix any flaws, reduce fading and remove dust and scratches quickly and easily."

Renowned for its ease-of-use and versatility, the Visioneer OneTouch 9520 Photo Scanner contains all the software tools required to backup photos, create collages, restore images and organize photo collections. Affordably priced at $199.99 USD, the scanner bundle features Corel Paint Shop Pro and the ScanSoft Paper Port.

"Visioneer is dedicated to providing consumers with easy-to-use imaging solutions that grow with them," said Bob Scaglia, senior vice president of retail sales at Visioneer. "Paint Shop Pro was attractive to us for this very reason. With its integrated Learning Center, customers of all skill levels can produce professional-looking results with no previous photo editing experience required."

Visioneer selected Corel's Paint Shop Pro technology to provide users with the industry's most effective tool to correct the flaws of scanned photos. Paint Shop Pro is quickly becoming a favorite of photo enthusiasts. Easier to use and learn than comparable products, it helps novice users correct their photos with simple one-step fixes and generate impressive results immediately. In addition, it allows photo hobbyists to create photo projects and master the basics of image editing while easing into more advanced editing techniques as their skills progress. Professional photographers will find a complete range of advanced image editing tools that give them unprecedented control as they edit their images - all at a much more affordable price than comparable products.
