drop shadows

[starla]

I am using PSE5 and was just wondering if there is a way to change the angle of a drop shadow without affecting all the other drop shadows on the page. Whenever I try to change the direction of a drop shadow on a layer the rest of the shadows on my page change as well.

Starla,

Regrettably, Adobe removed the option to disable "global lighting" in PSE5.

If you had access to an earlier version, you could open your .PSD file there, turn off global lighting, save it, and then PSE5 would respect the setting... but there's not a way to do it solely using v5.

An addition...

as a workaround, you could simplify a single layer after setting the shadow, then re-set the shadows for the other layers.
