Hot Tip: Capture One requires Force Click on cursor toolbar
I hope no one else has fallen into this "gotcha".
I am coming from running C1 Windows 10 and have decided to convert my post-processing to OS X exclusively. In Win10, one can right click on the Cursor Toolbar to select from the variety of cursors (e.g., you want to select the Erase brush rather than the default Mask brush).
Doing a right click on the Mac (El Capitan) only gives you the option to customize the toolbar. One never sees the listing of all the possible cursors within the particular section you are clicking on. You can drive yourself quite mad 😡 trying to troubleshoot this. The trick then is to use the Force Click. Tap the tourchpad (or Magic pad) and then push harder past the slight resistance of the pad and the cursor dropdown menu shows up just fine.
Waste an hour on this..... 🤭

Or simply use the left click. Keep the button pressed for a second… Bingo! 😊 0 -
Or type the letter key for that tool with the Shift key held down to switch between the different variations. Bingo too! 0 -
Thanks for your comments.
Strangely, neither one of your suggestions works on my Macbook Pro with El Capitan.
+John Doe: On my Magic Pad (true also for the trackpad, also), a left click is obtained by a tap. This does not activate the drop-down menu.
+peter.f: pressing the letter key, even without the shift, obtains the desired choice. (Of course, one has to remember the correct shortcut key letter, for which occasionally seeing the drop-down menu is helpful.)
Either way, the only way my machine works is to use the Force Click.0 -
Cursor on the icon of choice, anything that has a pull-down menu.
3 fingers on the trackpad. Keep still and wait a moment for the pop-up menu to appear, or pull all 3 fingers down a bit immediately.
Works on MBP mid2009 and MBPr mid2014.

Left click and hold works for me on my MBP 2012 ... 0 -
Maybe a setting to change in System Preferences > Trackpad ? 0 -
Hi Bodo,
maybe I didn't understand your question or didn't make my answer clear.[quote="Bodo Renzenbrink" wrote:

You must hold the Shift-key down in order to *cycle* through the different tool variations. Typing the letter by itself selects the last variation of that tool you've used. So, pressing 'r' selects the rotate tool, and more specifically, the last variation of it, while Shift-r cycles through all possible rotation tools.
But you are right in that the drop-down menu is helpful and allows you to immediately select the wanted tool. But I'm a bit of a keyboard-guy and I prefer shortcuts over mousing.
Cheers,
Peter.0
