There is a pill for those Corel CDs that works 95% of the time and it's not
a profile as the colorspaces are all over the place. I have been using the
following procedure in PhotoShop way back to 3.0.
Open the file to needed resolution and don't color manage at this point.
Your space should be RGB
Open the curves dialog under image/adjust.
Double click on the High Light sampler and set C = 6, M = 4, Y = 3, K = 0
and OK
Double click on the Mid Tone sampler and set C = 60, M = 50, Y = 49, K = 16
and OK
Double click on the Shadow sampler and set C = 95, M = 90, Y = 98, K = 95
And OK
Then click on AUTO and most pictures will fall into a nice looking and
usable balance. From there you can save as an RGB Tiff (or whatever), assign
or convert to whatever profiles you want, or do any retouching you need,
etc.

There are no Corel pills out there that will cure colorspace flashbacks?
