What does “lifted blacks” mean?

Question

What does "lifted blacks" mean? How does it affect your image? How do I do it in Lightroom?

Answer

Lifted blacks refers to the action of increasing the brightness of black areas of a raw image. This can have the effect of bringing out details in areas that previously had none, but if the blacks are too deep, it can result in visible noise.

Most raw processors have a Blacks slider, simply adjust it to lift the blacks.
