QUESTION
How do I back up my Styles & Presets in case I need to update my OS/move to another computer?
ANSWER
Step 1. Navigate to the Application Support folder.
Mac
- /Users/[your user name]/Library/Application Support/Capture One
NOTE: The User Library is hidden by default in modern macOS releases. You can quickly access it in Finder, select Go -> Go to Folder and paste "~/Library/Application Support/Capture One" without the quotes.
Windows
- C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\CaptureOne
NOTE: AppData is hidden by default on Windows. Learn how to show hidden folders on Windows.
Step 2. Back up the Styles and Presets.
On the destination computer, you can paste the Styles & Presets from the original computer to those same paths. The next time you start Capture One, it will find these automatically; no import is required.

Which folder(s) should I copy - just the Styles and Presets60 folders or all folders in ~/Library/Application Support/Capture One? I'm assuming the latter?
Hi!
Thanks for all of the tutorials. I followed your directions and moved my data from my old windows 10 64 bit dell to my new Mac Studio and the only thing that I can see that came across was my custom style brushes (all 5 of them). Not my workspaces or anything else.
My process was to copy the CaptureOne file from the Dell and paste it on the SSDs in my NAS, then copy that to the library in the mac, change the name to Capture One, and change the name of the existing Mac file to Kapture_One.
I'm also trying to bring my catalog into C1 on the mac, leaving it on the SSD in the NAS. That seems to be working away, but my subfolder structure doesn't seem to be replicated (yes, I checked "Include subfolders.)
Any help would be most appreciated. :)
I did submit a ticket on this last week, but not even crickets.
