How to open C1W file?
The main problem with Capture One Work Data Format is that the C1W file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open C1W, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the C1W 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. This can be achieved by typing Capture One into the operating system search engine.

Below you will find a list of applications that support C1W files.
Programs to open C1W file
Remember to download programs supporting C1W files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Capture One with C1W files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the C1W file still does not use the Capture One program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the C1W file with the Capture One program.
Step 3. Update Capture One to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Capture One program, it is possible that Capture One Work Data Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Phase One A/S page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the C1W file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the C1W file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file C1W or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover C1W files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of C1W file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair C1W file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted C1W files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move C1W to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file C1W to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the C1W file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
