Hi everyone - I'm new to photoshop, but have an idea of what I am doing...to a point....here's my problem.

I have a banner that I am creating, and I have a layer that is a big "Q" with different effets, one being a drop shadow at -39 degrees. I have created another text layer and want to change the drop shadow of that layer, but when I change the drop shadow of that layer to say +50, my "Q" also changes. There are 2 different layers.

How do I make 2 different drop shadows with 2 different layers?

Thanks!

Uncheck "use global light"..its checked by default when in Drop Shadow style.
