This "expose to the right" method tested here has been working awesome for me since I tested. It's actually replaced tone-mapping (HDR) on some shoots that I'd normally layer exposures on. I overexposed about a stop, import to Lightroom where I bring highlight detail back below clipping level using the exposure slider. Then bring the brightness back up using the fill slider which will move your histogram right taking away a true black. Use the blacks slider to bring a true black back. Then play with the luminance and color noise sliders to remove any last bit of noise. This gives nice results! Regarding your under exposures, are they really under exposed on the histogram and is your monitor calibrated? Thanks for reading and replying! Ryan Glad this helped!

I was searching via google for why my shots were looking quite underexposed in Lightroom. I guess I just need to over-expose as a general rule of thumb :\ Thanks for the read and the testing.
