I applied drop shadow to a layer. Then I created a new layer and tried to apply an inner shadow to it. Turns out, that changing the angle on the new layer also effects the angle of the other layer' drop shadow!

The two layers are not linked in any way. Here is a screenshot:

Any help is much appreciated.

Okay, this is solved. I had to uncheck the 'Use Global Light' option in the Blending Options panel. Here is a screenshot: cl.ly/2T0V1q2v2G0I0D2K2C1B – adnkhn Jan 1 '12 at 5:49

Yeah. I always turn Use Global Light off. I don't see any real world use for the feature. – Marc Edwards Sep 23 '12 at 8:23
