Unhappy Orchid with a sunburn

I have what I think is a dendrobium and after reading that it likes lots o' light I decided to put it outside. In my stupidity surveying the spot I miscalculated the amount of direct sunlight that would hit the shelf I placed it on and as a result it got badly burned. I moved it back inside as soon as I realized my mistake where it receives a tad of very early morning sun only. Anyway, three of the leaves have large white thin spots on them and several others are now yellow (formerly nice and green).
Do I leave the damaged leaves alone or do I cut them off? Thanks, hope I am not the first person to make this mistake
