For the bleeding...

Thers is many technique... the most popular are using mask or a soft brusht to earse unwanted part of the images...

For the lensflare...

The trick is to place your lensflare on its own layer, this way you can use the colors adjustement tools...

1)Create a new layer....
2)Fill it with black...
3)Set is bleding mode to screen or Ligthen

This will give you a tranpansparent lyer wich can hold a lensflare. Then you need to add you lensflare to thei layer...

4)Go to you image layer
5) Filter-render- Lens Flare
6)Position you lensflare ans chosse its style (there is 3)
7)Apply thei filter
8) Use history to undo you lens flare
9)Go to your black layer
10)Apply the lesn flare filter in thsi layer (the position and style will be the same as you place them for you image)

Youn now have a lensflare on its own layer... All you have to do is to change the color of this layer (the image will not be affected) You can use colorize or change color or anytoll you like...even apply filter to your lensflare...
