PEF doesn't have a colourspace per se. The convention holds from the
JPEG and TIFF's and also affects the embedded JPEG as well as the
default conversion settings, but as the PEF is raw sensor data it can't
have a colourspace.
I use ProPhotoRGB for my PEF conversion space just fine.

I just checked the Corel website regarding this. It looks like you need

TIFF straight out of the *istD are 8 bit.
It's hard to say exactly what Don means by useless, but it sounds like it's more
than a colourspace issue, especially since in camera TIFFs are either Adobe RGB
or sRGB as the native profile, both should be supported profiles in PSP, though
it looks like .psd support is poor.
The problem is that colorspace in a PEF is denoted by file name conventions not
embedded, so the recipient has to know that an underscore preceding the name
indicated that the assumed colorspace is AdobeRGB and assign it manually, a
crap system really.
In any case if misinterpreted it would just make the image appear a bit drab
not totally screw it up. The in camera TIFF files are also uncompressed and
hence should be easily read by any reasonably capable software, so I really
don't know what the problem could be.
