Changing the color wheel layout

Capture One’s color wheels used in the Color Balance tool can be displayed with the chroma hue reference phase rotated 90-degrees to imitate a Vectorscope layout, as found on high-end video-editing software. Experience with this layout, with red near to the top, should benefit anyone working with video-editing software. Note that the lightness and saturation adjustment sliders are exchanged in position.

1. Go to Capture One -> Preferences (Mac) or Edit -> Preferences (Windows). The Preferences dialog box opens.
   
   
   
   
2. Click on the Color tool tab.
   
   
3. Go to Color Wheels Layout section and select the layout out from the two options. Red to the right is the default. Red close to the top imitates a typical Vectorscope layout. The selection is made without the need to restart Capture One.
   
   
4. To return to the default selection, repeat the actions from Step 1.
