Cattleya Problem/SHOULD IT BE SENT TO ORCHID HEAVEN?

I have a Cattleya that spent the summer outdoors under a tree, so no direct sun. Since bringing it in the leaves have started to look horrible. I haven't found any critters or creatures and I did repot it when I brought it indoors.
Can someone give me there insight of what to do
Thanking you in advance.

No critters or creatures that is a good thing How did the root system look? Those are the older growths. And it's just on a couple of leaves. The yellowing could be from lack of light. I think if you give it excellent catt culture you will be rewarded. It may need that adjustment period from the outside to the inside.

Thank you Sunshine and Plucker for your answer.
Two trains of thought. what approach would I take to a Fungal problem?
The answer to the other question was the roots looked quite good and the leaves are very firm, not mushy at all.

It is not a fungal problem.

If you do not like the two bad leaves cut them off. They will die and fall off soon anyway.

Unless the leaves that still look green start to deteriorate, the new growth should be fine.
