Rick, you are right, in Photopaint the Unsharp sharpening does not work with 16 bit per channel images, this is a pitfall, anyway the Sharpen filter do work with 16 bits per channel images. It's explained in the manual lhttp://product.corel.com/help/PHOTO-PAINT/540227992/Main/EN/User-Guide/Corel-PHOTO-PAINT-2018.pdf , page 155.

I downloaded the trial version 2 weeks ago and played a bit with it, it liked me, but I was not aware that one of the sharpening filters only works with 8 bits per channel... this has a relative importance because the Sharpen filter still works with all images, having that limitation anyway it would be a pitfall for a Pro user.
