Hello, I have a two layer(or whatever amount of layers)image, I apply, lets say a drop shadow style to layer "A". I modify the settings the way I like and everything’s ok. But when I go to layer "B" and apply the same drop shadow or any other style and I modify "angle" or "size" for example, it modifies the settings on layer "A" as well. I could go back to layer "A" and readjust those settings but it’d change them on layer "B" too. It’s like layer styles where "linked" or something. I don’t think photoshop is meant to do that. So can anyone help me on this?. Oh by the way, it has happened to me on many versions of photoshop I’ve worked with. I’m currently working on CS2 but it has happened on CS and other prior versions too. maybe it’s related to another shortcut problem I have. Sometimes I hit "crtl+U" for "hue and saturation" or "ctrl+L" for "levels" and nothing happens. I know it’s a keyboard issue but sometimes I can’t make photoshop work as it’s supposed to even changing back the language of the keyboard (because sometimes it just changes languages by itself, the OS I mean).
