Custom names for color labels
Hello,
I want to use the color labels to tag different variants for Facebook, Instagram Landscape, Instagram Vertical, Instagram Square, Youtube Thumbnail etc.
This is possible in Lightroom with ease because LR allows setting custom names for the color labels.
I'm trying to do the same in CaptureOne but I can't figure out how. I tried searching for this and there is a forum post here but it goes to a page showing "You're not authorized to access this page".

Does anyone know if it's possible to do this in CaptureOne?

It isn't currently possible. It would be a good idea, I think. You could consider suggesting it as a feature, or looking at the feature suggestions and upvoting one for this if there is one already.

Ian Wilson Thanks for the reply, I will do that.

Ian Wilson: It would be a good idea, I think
It depends. Photo applications, C1 included, recognize color tags by a name describing it. "Red" would be ok for most applications while "Rot" would typically fail, regardless referring to the same color. Color name variants may be a good idea for some uses, but it may cause frustration if you want the same color tag shown across applications. When C1 finds color tag "Rot" or "rot" in image metadata it will likely not know that it is supposed to display the "Red" tag.
Photo Mechanic lets me maintain named sets of color tags that I can apply. I have one set "Capture One" because C1 uses a slightly different set of color names and color ordering than some of the other applications I use, and it is not possible to adjust in C1.

If you want the same in various apps, it may not be very practical. But some of us would find it useful to be able to designate, say Blue = an image to print, Green = an image to post online etc. Making it possible to attach a description to a colour tag would help some of us, and would not harm those for whom it wouldn't work, or who don't want it.

Right, but I'm only referring to usage within C1.
The implementation would be trivial. C1 can keep using the internal id "red" but display "Rot" if I select "Custom Labels DE" or "Youtube Thumbnail" if I select "Custom Labels Social"
Sometimes I think about getting a job at C1 for a few months just to fix these annoying things that C1 is lacking but are basic in other software packages.0 -
Ian Wilson I've found 2 feature requests / ideas already there and upvoted them.
I suggest everyone reading this do the same, maybe CaptureOne will have a look into this.
