If you just want to decrease an existing bend by a little, I would suggest
doing it cold.  It won't take a lot of encouragement for the pipe to return
towards it's original shape, and it's not likely to crimp if you aren't
going very far.

I've tried that, with limited success.  Have a really hard time getting a
large enough area soft enough to bend, without overheating a smaller area.
Maybe I just need a bigger torch.
