Everytime I create a new shape in Photoshop CS5, whether on a new layer, document, whatever, it's always starting out with a drop shadow. I can't figure out why this default filter is being applied?
Check if you have a Style set on your Shape tool settings?
It should be set on the white rectangle with a red stipe over it, and it seems to remember this setting even if you close the document, and create a new one.
