The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the COSTYLE file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Phase One Capture One

Programs to open COSTYLE file
Remember to download programs supporting COSTYLE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Phase One Capture One with COSTYLE files
If, despite the installed application, the COSTYLE file does not start in the Phase One Capture One application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Phase One Capture One application as the default for handling the COSTYLE file.
Step 3. Update Phase One Capture One to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Phase One Capture One program with the Capture One Style Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the COSTYLE file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The COSTYLE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to COSTYLE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file COSTYLE or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected COSTYLE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of COSTYLE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged COSTYLE files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted COSTYLE files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move COSTYLE to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the COSTYLE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the COSTYLE file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
