How to open C1P file?
The main problem with Capture One Preview Data Format is that the C1P file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file C1P to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the C1P 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 Capture One
In this case, you should first verify that the Capture One application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Capture One into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file C1P.
Programs to open C1P file
Remember to download programs supporting C1P files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Capture One with C1P files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the C1P file to open in the Capture One application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the C1P file with the Capture One application.
Step 3. Update Capture One to the latest version
If, however, after binding Capture One with Capture One Preview Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Phase One A/S website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the C1P file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The C1P file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the C1P file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file C1P or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected C1P files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the C1P file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair C1P file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file C1P except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move C1P to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the C1P file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the C1P file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
