What does clipping mean in Lightroom?

In technical terms, clipping occurs when Lightroom detects a lack of digital information in a portion of your image, meaning those areas that show up with the red or blue overlay have no visual detail. When displayed either on the web or in print, those areas will appear pure white or pure black.
