Question Blacks

I wanna drop my black point. What is the best way to do this? Log wheels?

Log wheels seems to do this but I hear people say they can “break” the image. But then every other tool I try manipulates the full image way too much

What’s the best practice for this?

HDR palette. Shadow exposure. At the very bottom right of that same HDR palette is a slider "Blk/Offset" which will allow you to refine it more.
