C1 LE Yellow Sunset Dilemma

I recently converted a sunset image via C1 LE 3.7.4. There are areas in
the photo that are totally oversaturated with a deep yellow color. I converted
the same file in DPP and the image looked normal.

I remember reading about the yellow sunset bug two or three years ago.
You would think that after all the updates and version changes, that Phase
One would have figured out a way to solve the problem.

Will this ever be eliminated, or will it continue into the future unresolved?

  Robert,
  
  The Sunset Bug is news to me... not on list of known Bugs since version 3.6 ; and search for this issue in Support case load comes up zero.
  Likely a camera profile issue you are experiencing.
  
  If the color is wrong, the tools are there to get the color you're after.
  If the saturation is extreme, reduce it.
  If too much yellow, eliminate it.
  As no 2 sunsets are the same, the tools in Capture One need to be used to adjust the image.
  Some camera model profiles have the choice of a Sunset profile in the Color Management Settings.
  
  If you believe there is indeed a Bug, then create a Support Case with all details of camera used, profile selected, and color space output.
  Attach your RAW image file for analysis too.

  Keith,
  
  Thank you for your response. I will not go into much detail, here, except
  to say that the image to which I referred in my post is not "fixable" with
  any of the tools in C1. I would like to add that Magne Nilsen apparently
  knew about the problem, since he created dedicated profiles specifically
  to eliminate the sunset bug. I am, indeed, amazed that Phase One has
  no knowedge of these profiles, especially in light of Magne's credentials.

  Robert,
  
  To clarify, Not fixable with any of the tools in Capture One LE version.
  
  PRO most certainly has the tools including the Color Editor.
  The Color Editor can be used in this situation in 2 different approaches.
  1 - it can be used to create a Custom Sunset profile for your camera
  2 - it can selectively adjust only the color of the sunset to precisely the desired result.
  
  The Profiles created by Magne Nilsen go back to version 3.5 and mostly related to older camera models of D30/D60/10D and the Rebel.
  If you are using a newer camera model and the most recent version of Capture One 3.7.4 and still have image problems, then a Support Case is the means to inform Phase One.
  Again, there is not 1 Case involving this type of image problem.
  
  Regards,
  k c

  Yes, definitely not fixable with LE. Since the image I converted was originally
  from a 10D, I decided to check out the color-management box. I was quite
  surprised to find a 10D Sunset profile(didn't even know it existed, since I
  use the generic profile for my Rebel XT). I ran another conversion test and
  the result was excellent.
