Rotating an Image
I would like to change the perspective of cane toad. Would like to have it appear at a right angle to the viewer. Is it possible to "rotate" or give the illusion of rotation so that the toad is facing the viewer head-on?

I tried several attempts at using the warp tool, but this seems to distort the toad too much. Is there another method to achieve this "rotation"?

Here's my attempt with the steps I took
Open and save as a new file
Perspective crop right side, transform rotate to straighten
Double canvas size
Duplicate, right side, flip horizontal, align sides to give a complete toad
From original roughly select left eye (as viewed), copy to image and position. Go around edge with eraser set to about 15% and blend in
From original roughly select left leg (as viewed), copy to image and position. Go around edge with eraser set to about 15% and blend in
Merge down, go around with clone tool set to 35% to eliminate mirror image of each side
Transform size to get correct shape
