I think it’s the same way for the lens flare. I don’t use lens flare, but those who do must be annoyed if their lens flare does not quite come from their light source…

I beg to differ but you can precisely place a lens flare on an image. It involves the Info palette and a little-known feature of the lens flare dialog box.
First, open the info palette (found under the Window menu) then put your cursor in the precise spot in your image that you want the center of your lens flare to appear. Then look at your info palette under the X and Y coordinates and make note of those two coordinates. Go under the Filter menu, under Render and choose Lens Flare. You will see a fairly large preview window in the center of the dialog box. Hold the Alt key (Mac: Option key), click once on the preview window and it brings up the Precise Flare Center dialog box. Enter the coordinates you made note of earlier and click OK. Your Lens Flare is now precisely located.
I tried this operation with the Radial blur and unfortunately, for the Original poster it does not function with that filter. Also note that I am using PS 7….maybe it works in PS CS and then again it may not. I just don’t understand why adobe doesn’t have this feature for other filters that need precise positioning
Hope this helps some of you out there
