Changing Perspective (to look like pic taken from the ground

[Darius]

As I stated, in the Subject Header, I want this picture (attached), to look, as if, it were taken, while I was sitting on the ground. It was taken, with my iPhone 4, and I'll probably crop some (much) of the top off, I just attached the whole pic, so as to provide what I originally shot. Can the Warp transformation (or something else in Picture Window Pro 5.0) achieve this, if not, are there any programs, that will, which someone(s), here, could recommend.

Thanks!

It is really difficult to create image data where none exists... the cat's legs are fore-shortened and if viewed from a floor level would not be... and one would not see so much of the cat's back head top but more of its side view and with more heightened ears... etc...

Perhaps this DPR article could be of help for thoughtful considerations before the shutter is pressed next time...

Of course the article illustrates a static scene variation... and cats possess independent natures that usually precludes being stationary when on the prowl!

...a toughie... I'd be interested in what others have to suggest too!!!

Perhaps the following using PWP will improve 2 of 3 planes sufficiently...

(1) click on the starting image and open the Warp transform
(2) open the Paint Tool and paint a circle on the body of the cat
(3) click on the Warp transform and adjust the grid to preferences, perhaps align the horiztonal with the cross image tile seam and the vertical with the fireplace mantle frame... ...adjust the Warp Proportions slider so the painted circle best forms a circle in the Preview

(4) click on the Paint Tool and do a "Control-Z" to remove the painted circle
(5) click on the Warp transform and click OK
(6) crop the resulting(5) image to preferences and to eliminate 'black' out-of-frame image areas

Not exactly sure how to do a realistic 'tilt'!!!.....

...Perhaps a 'tilt' could be accomplished by...

...a repeat of the (1) thru (6) steps above with the Warp grid re-oriented on the resulting(5) image from above:
