Question about L.I.E.

The setup:
I have a character (Genesis 8) and i use L.I.E. map of a handprint (a smack on her behind) which is used/created for Genesis 3.
It prety much works straight out of the box of which i am happy.
Is there a way where i can see and possibly change some settings.
The character has a somewhat darker skin complex so it would be nice to make it slightly redder, also i would like to do rotate it a little (5 - 10 degrees over the Z-Axis)
Is this possible in DAZ or do i need to adjust it in photoshop? (I hope not as my skills are pretty low) And if so where do i find it? I looked under surfaces but could not find it.

Quickly,
1) Select your character
2) Go to the Surface tab, and select the torso
3) Click on the little thunbnail of the base color of the torso
4) A menu should appear; select the LIE editor near the top
5) I click the fit to scale button on the left and the note the name of the handslap
6) Open the file in Photoshop
7) Command U on a pc or Command U on a mac oppens Hue and Saturation; spin the hue wheel until it is red as you like
8) Save with a new name; never overwrite your original file!
9) Go back to the LIE editor, add a new layer, choose your redder file, set it to multiplacative, delete the original handslap layer
10) Render.
I wish LIE had degrees of rotation :( unfortunately all it has it 90 degree increments so you definately need to rotate the original image in a photo editor.
Thanks, its 1 am here and i had a few beers so i will mess with this tomorrow.
