C1 grey-outs (unsaturated spot?)

I am developing a M10-R / 50mm Elmar picture in LRc (as import manager) and C1-20. The scarf is of course the same above and below the hand.

I saw a picture with grey areas, unsaturated colors in C1. I tried enhancing with a local spot of extra saturation but that only enhanced the non-reds.

I like to report it, and I am sarcastic enough to suggest why there is difference at the end.

In the end: does C1 use a, hitherto kept secret AI tool to discover areas in a picture?

Looking directly at your image, to me it is underexposed a little. In Snapseed, on my Galaxy tablet, I have brightened the lower scarf by globally adjusting the exposure in the shadows. Your mixed lighting is quite contrasty. Here is  your picture with modest adjustments in exposure and curves. Is this the kind of improvement you sought?

The colour differs. I believe its differen light falling on top or below the arm.

But in LR Classic you can easily adjust the WB by means of the brush or mark the part in question as an object.

With mixed lighting you must decide which is the most important area to get true to your intention. If you merely correct patches, it risks being oddly uneven. I tried using a brush, but the upper scarf has a different pattern  and colour. It is difficult to judge.. I was only trying to help you.

IMHO, what you see here is C1 interpret shadows cooler than LR. If you prefer the Adobe way, stick with Adobe.

Thanks, indeed in LRc there might be some 'intelligent' processing of shadows going on; in fact there even is a filter with which shadows can have a slight different temp if I am correct.

Thinking about it. Some time ago I had a portrait printed and the sweater in C1 also had a grey blob area, awkward in fact, while the LRc did not have that.

One big take away: be very carefull in those large areas that are underlit. Indeed there was 2 stops underexposure. But hey, how else can I quickly use the Elmar in a dark café?

By the way, what do you think of the bokeh balls of this Elmar?
