Nice forums you lot got here! Well done to all who created this site! I wish I had found this place sooner! I have a question for all you PhotoShopperz!

I created an image of a cartoon character holding a torch (thats a flashlight for all our American friends on here!). Well I decided that I wanted a beam of light coming out of the torch so I decided to use the "Lens Flare" effect from the KPT plug-in. The effect is awesome but Im having trouble with alighning the beam of light.

The problem is that the torch thats in the picture is tilted down at an angle so of course the light beam has to come out at that same angle!

The problem I'm having is adjusting the ANGLE of the lens-flare light beam in KPT with the angle of the torch.

In a nutshell: The torch and lens-flare have to be in one straight line but the lens-flare is coming out crooked (like a straight peice of wire with a bend in the middle).

Is it possible to manipulate the *angle* of the lens-flare in KPT?

Because now my torch is pointed straight down but its beam is going a little sideways!

Thanx for reading this and I hope you can help
