[Locked] Change perspective

I need to change the perspective of the cat's face so that his eyeball is facing forward.  I looked a Perspective Warp (which I've never used before) and Lens Correction but can't figure it out.  Thanks for any help.

    It seems you are asking for a rotation of the the cat or its head to simulate a photograph taken from another vantage point -- as though we are dealing with a three dimensional image (perhaps a hologram). Not possible. .

    Boy!  You people are really on the attack...I think this post ought to be reported to the Admin or whoever's in charge.

    Not only do you sound stupid but you're accusing me of ignorance of Photoshop.

    Amy,

    That was never anyone's intent.   Nobody here has accused you of anything.   I don't know what more any of us can say to help you.  So I'm locking this disucssion.

    Norman -

    I don't know why you're piping up all of a sudden to defend these women.

    Are these women in the Medical field, they sound like Nurses and/or Technicians to me?

    I had better kindness and luck with the first photograph I submitted a few weeks ago.  I really don't need this callousness.

    But thanks for your replies anyway.  Now I know who to stay away from.

    Amy, you seem to be questioning the credentials of the folks who have responded to your inquiry. Fair question. Since my post was the first one submitted and, it seems, not convincing, I feel obligated to provide some personal background information:

    I came to studio and graphic arts photography via letterpress and lithography, doing camera and darkroom work in my teens. Later, some of my personal work was published, exhibited internationally and is in the Hasselblad collection. If you check my bio at this Forum site you will see that I taught analog and digital photography and related subjects at a college for decades.

    In addition, before retiring, I was the president and technical director of a firm that served some of the most demanding perfectionists on the planet. I have worked with Photoshop for more than twenty years and prior to that was involved with its older big brother: Scitex

    I have lectured nationally under the auspices of the NEA and Eastman Kodak, including lecturing to the folks at Kodak in Rochester, and have appeared in their literature. I wrote some books, one of which was reproduced in four languages.

    That said, I urge you reread the facts presented by my colleagues and me. We have adequate credentials.

    I KNOW a photograph is a 2D image;  I've been doing this for years.  How long have you been involved with photography?  This 'beginner level' is sounding very belligerent and childish to me.

    If you understand it so well, why ask an impossible question?

    How long have you been involved with photography? 

    I started taking photographs in the 1960's.  Later I took diagnostic x-rays and then worked in CT, cardiac cath lab, MRI & UltraSound.   My 1st copy of Photoshop came out on Windows in the early 1990's.    But there's a lot I still don't know so I endeavor to learn new things every chance I get .

    This 'beginner level' is sounding very belligerent and childish to me.

    I'm sorry you feel that way.

    Good luck!

    Nancy

    Thank you for all your kind advice.  I don't see any of you throwing up examples.  I'm not enjoying your attitude.  Why don't you take a first, second or third look at Perspective Warp.

    If you understand perspective, you know that what you're asking for is impossible with a 2D image.  Turning the subject's head to face the camera is not possible because we have no pixel data for the left side of subject's head.  Do you see the problem now?   Warping cannot create something that doesn't exist.

    Yes, that's what all of us were saying. There does not exist one tool on this planet that does what you requested. Nancy's answer is the only viable proposition.

    Your request is simply not possible.

    Lens correction corrects lens errors as the name says.

    Perspective wrap adds or corrects a perspective impression to a flat 2-D picture element.

    Take another picture.    Tip:  Dangle a cat toy above your camera to get him/her to face you.
