In my opinion Lightroom has always suffered with good skin tones. That's one main reason why I've switched to Capture One years ago. Open the same raw file into Capture One and your (skin)colours looks so much more natural without any editing.
I agree with everything here. Skin tones from RAW Canon files (1dx mII in my case) look horrific. I can't get them to look anywhere as good as the JPGs even with lots of experimentation in Camera Raw using Lightroom and/or Photoshop. Super disappointing for Canon and Adobe users who put lots of money into having the "best" image quality. Makes me wish I didn't have any Canon or Adobe products.
Thanks for saying this out loud! Totally agree
🙂

Thank you. I will try that!
I'll have to check it out!
i'm having the same problem especially with black and brown skin
Yes. Jpeg out of camera or canon dpp renders it well.

Agree 100%. DPP renders it well, but is too slow to use.
IMHO: When you put serious money for the best quality images, you don't use Lightroom
I wanted to switch from R5 to 1DX M3 hoping that I will get normal Canon colors and skintones but ….
The issue is that Canon has not released their color profile to Adobe.
I know...its sad!
Dude they are both wrong, too much yellows in whole picture not only skintones, just horrible
