On exporting a RAW image to a JPEG File I am finding that the colours are significantly saturated especially the reds.
I have to reduce the satuaration on the RAW file by 15-25 points to get the right tone for exporting to JPEG.
I have gone through the color management issues, monitor calibration, etc etc without much joy.
There were some posts on this issue way back to the time of LR3 without a definite solution.
Are anyone else having a similar problem? Whats the solution?
From the menu: /file/open file/
navigate to your JPG.

Please tell us
- The type of your monitor, and the calibration device
- What you use to view at the pictures after the export
- You OS as well as the exact version of LR
- Your export settings (color space ...)

I am using a Dell Ultrasharp Monitor 24"
Spyder 4 for color callibration
Windows 10 (64)
Lightroom CC Latest version (2015.12)
After exporting, I use Windows Photos or Photo Viewer.
Color Space sRGB

Dell Ultrasharp 24" does not really define your monitor. Dell has some wide gamut types that - if properly calibrated - work perfect with color-manged apps like LR.
The downside of wide gamut monitors is that ONLY fully color-managed apps do show the images with the correct colors and saturation.
I'm not sure if Windows Photos and Photo Viewer are fully color-managed and do respect the display profile.
For testing purpose, please use Firefox (which is color-managed) to display the photo and tell us if it looks correct then.

Windows "Photos" is not color managed. It will display sRGB oversaturated on a wide gamut monitor. Always.
The old "Windows Photo Viewer" from Windows 7, however, is fully color managed and should display correctly with a good monitor profile.

Thanks to both of you. I think the new Photo App in Win 10 is the culprit !!
