HOW?? Drop shadow different angles, same layer...

dibbo93

The title probably makes no sense but here's an image of what i mean:

I want to do a drop shadow like that above. The shadow is coming from a different angle on each letter (both the silver and the darker shadow behind that) - a weird shadow that i can only imagine forming from text printed on the inside of a circular object like a soft drink can.

I know all the basics and a bit more on photoshop but not an advanced user!! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Daniel.

You will need different layers, but you can just cut it up in multiple parts, that won't be much of a problem.
Just use Drop Shadow, but be sure to turn OFF global lighting.
Now you can choose the angle.
Global lighting chooses 1 point from where the shadow comes for the entire image
