A couple of months ago I got a bundle in a box that someone was selling, they received a Corel bundle with a product but didn't want it. I got it basically because of Aftershot Pro 3 which I wanted to give another try (cheapest way to get Perfectly Clear...). It also came with Paint Shop Pro. I only used it for a couple of hours but haven't really been all that impressed. Since I have it anyway, I might as well watch a video or two sometime and see if there's anything I can do with it.
Corel in general has gone quite downhill it seems. I wonder who long they will stay around. I guess only cheap hobbists like me still use their products - they're still having some advantage over free software, but not that much
