JPEG export from LR oversaturated

After having exported from LR tp JPEG, the photo is very different from the one shown in LR (Develop).

There is far to much saturation.

My PC system:

CPU Intel i7-4790 3.60 Ghz 64 bit

GPU Intel HD Graphics 4600

Please can you help me?

Thanks in advance.

    What is your Windows version?

    And in what application are you viewing the exported jpg?

    If this application is not color managed, and you have a wide gamut monitor, images will be over saturated.

    With wide gamut monitors it is a must to only use color managed applications to view images.

    Per,

    Im going to find out if i have a wide gamut monitor. It is the Dell UP2516

    D, 2560 x 1440 resolution.

    Where can i find color managed applications?

    Thanks in advance.

    The Dell UP2516D is indeed a wide gamut monitor.

    Unfortunately, none of the apps that come with Windows 10 are color managed, but there are a couple of free options.

    There is Adobe Bridge, which is included in a CC subscription. I also think (not quite sure) that you can download Bridge for free if you have a standalone version of Lightroom.

    Another free option is the Irfanview image viewer. It is color managed, but I think you need to enable color management in preferences.

    You could also buy ACDSee - the latest standard version (20) is color managed.


    I installed the old Windows Photo Viewer and think it is much better now.
