Applying the complex formalism of Part I we investigate the transformation of the ellipticity and orientation distribution of elliptical background sources by local lensing. One important result is that we can apply the techniques from Part I directly in most parts of the cluster field from which we can also reconstruct the distribution of the background sources, without further information. Knowing the distribution we can apply the techniques from Part I everywhere.
