How-to tilt the face to the right or left side given a photo that the face is facing forward?

Is it possible? Are there any software(s) (possibly free ones if any) that can perform such photo edit?

Did you want to rotate the whole image by a few degrees? Most image editors can do that (e.g. Picasa "straighten") – RedGrittyBrick – 2011-12-23T09:58:07.663

No, I do not wish to rotate the whole image. I just want to rotate that face on the image by a few degrees. – Larry Morries – 2011-12-27T03:18:27.627

You can do this in most photo-editing software such as Photoshop ($$$) or Gimp (Free) but it isn't as simple as you might want. When you rotate a face you will have some gaps left behind (unless the face is perfectly circular, which is rare) you need to fill these gaps from similar nearby areas.

select the face (use edge detection or manual outline tracing)
rotate the selection (you may need to cut and paste first)
fill in the gaps (zoom in and use a "clone" tool).
