Can you explain what software is used to get this image

[rollsman44]

I happen to like the way this looks for portraits. Not sure if its HDR or ? Any suggestions on how to get something like this? Thank you

I think it's AI

She did respond to me and said it was NOT. PS was the software she used. I dont use PS just LR Classic. Thank you

The young woman depicted is very idealised.
It would be interesting to find out from the creator what percentage she thinks this work is true to the person.
I don't think it has much to do with photography ...

i wanna see the RAW file

PS was the software she used.

In Photohop the number of possibilities to alter and/or create images is infinite. Maybe you can ask her the workflow she used.
It may not be AI, but it still looks very artificial to me and I would classify it more as digital pictorialism and not photography.

Heavy frequency separation and dodge and burn in Photoshop is my guess.

Your question is interesting, but the best is to find one's own style and signature.
It's not given to anybody (including me !!).

Personally, I call it Art.

I like it, some don’t. Perhaps that makes me a non-purist, but I enjoy seeing others’ images created in the way they see it.

It's already nearly impossible to define what is AI and what is not. Many of the tools in PS are AI based, and many AI creations are based on actual photos. While this particular image may be based on a photo, it looks more like AI than many images presented as AI.

The best way to become able to make this kind of image is to learn PS properly. It takes time, but it's rewarding. I recommend Photoshopcafe (no affiliation), but there are many very good YouTube channels to choose from:

Edit:
Now I see that Barbara MacFerrin actually has tutorials on her YouTube channel. Good place to start. And yes, you do need Photoshop, but since you use Lightroom, you already pay for it, don't you?
