Tell us a little more in detail how you have created the recipes, what they do (produce JPGs, TIFFs etc) how you have selected the recipe to use, etc.
I find that Capture One uses the recipe I last used until I change it to another one. One of my recipes produces JPGs at 50% of the original image size, for use when I want a smaller file size, perhaps to put online. So if I have used that one to create a JPG it remains the selected recipe, and if I forget to change it back to the regular 100% one, then it affects all my editing work on every image - so for instance, cropping dimensions show as half the actual size and so on.
There are two things to think about in the list of recipes. The ones with the check box selected are all active. So if you have two of them checked at the same time and process out a file, you will get two output files (perhaps in my case a 100% one and a 50% one). Then the one that is highlighted in the list is the one that will be reflected in the work you are doing, for instance in what cropping dimensions show as like I mentioned above.

Hi,
Please have a look at this thread : (first message, 4th section about recipes).
02-19-2016 - Assigning a recipe to a specific file
Currently, C1 does not allow to assign a particular process recipe as a default for a given image (or did I miss something ?). This is rather annoying because the user might forget to activate the correct process recipe when working on a particular image. This will impact some editing tools and especially the information displayed in the crop panel. This may lead to wrong decisions. Other C1 users in my environment have already expressed the same remark.
If assigning a default process recipe to an image was possible, this would be much more comfortable for the user. This process recipe would be automatically activated when selecting that image. If no default process recipe has been specified for a given image, then the current active (global) process recipe would apply. If multiple images are selected and all these images have the same default process recipe, that process recipe would apply. If they have different default process recipes, then the global active process recipe would apply.
Implementing this feature doesn't involve much coding, I think, and this would avoid many problems or mistakes.
This problem and the related suggestion have been reported to Phase One for the first time in February 2016. Still ignored. And this brings us back to the discussion about the quality of the catalog database in C1. Its structure is too weak (especially when compared to the Lightroom catalog database). Implementing the above suggested feature would imply changing the C1 database structure. Obviously, they don't like the idea of spending some time making our user's life more comfortable.0 -
Ok, I made a recepie for JPEG, i have this one ticked but sometimes when i go to the output panel the TIFF 8 bit recepie i ticked. And know i left it on my JPEG recepie. is this a bug or is it something i'm doing wrong? 0 -

Where do you have this one ticked?
Are you using the Export tool or the Process recipe?
Do you use Proofing displays?
If you ar e using the Process Recipe then the following information may help.
All of the recipes are available are available for proofing. However that is not the same as setting them for Processing output.
If you highlight a process recipe that is the oen that will be used for display. If it is also ticked it will be used for output as well. However that does not make it exclusive. You can tick (i.e. select for processing) multiple output recipes at the same time but you can only proof for one of them.
Use the "Show Enabled only" tick box at the bottom of the Process Recipes list to discover which recipes are currently ticked and selected.
I rarely use the Export function but Export variant has its own Export Recipe setting. The same sorts of selections are available as for the Process tool BUT the Export tool has its own associated "last used" process that can be assigned.
It's difficult to guess what you might be seeing and why it is happening but some of this information might help you to get a little closer to identifying the reason.
HTH.

Thanks for your answer Grant.(It made me dizzy 😄) I have my recepie ticked under the output panel (The icon that looks like a gearwheel) i usually don't have proofing on. So when i want to export my photo i go to the output panel "gearwheel"
PS i left this recepie ticked, and highlighted at the output panel "gearwheel" but when i come back the ticked recepie is not where i left it, now it is the TIFF 8 bit that is chosen instead "ticked"0 -

So everything you are doing is using the Output process and you are NOT using the Export tool at all?
Are you working with sessions or a catalogue
If you are working with sessions are you seeing this problem when working within the same session? Or does it only appear when you change to a different session?

Im working in sessions. To be honest if it happens when i change session or in the same session, that i do not know, im gonna keep an eye on it. I just made the switch from Lightroom so learning C1P. Yes i only exporting via the recepies tool, is there any benefit to just use export?0 -
I don't think there is any benefit to just using the Export tool. The process recipes are more versatile.
The way you see things changing is not normal so I would suggest that you should submit a support case and see whether the support team can get to the root of the issue with you.

I agree with Ian's comment about about the benefits of Recipes. This is especially true when using a Pro version of C1.
If you close a session the currently active recipe or recipes are saved and will be active again next time you open it. So you can have session closed in a state whereby the active recipe(s) are completely different.
You can also have multiple session open (if you so allow in the preferences) each with different recipes active.
It is therefore possible that one can be slightly surprised by working with one session and it selected recipes and changing to another but forgetting that it was left with different recipes settings active. I have no idea of that is what you are seeing - it may not be. But it is something worth considering and looking out for.
HTH.
