I am an intermediate-skilled photoshop user. Still have a good bit to
learn.

During the creation of a web graphic, I have run into a weird issue.
On this graphic, I have a top bar and a bottom bar for navigation.

Each bar has a color overlay, and I would like to put a drop shadow on
each - dropping in different directions.

Each bar is in a separate layer, and these layers are not locked into
each other (or maybe they are in a way I can't see).

When I place the drop shadow affect on the top bar, it resets the
bottom bar to match it - which, visually, makes it disappear. Of
course, the opposite happens when I go to change the setting back in
the bottom bar.

I've gone as far as just trashing one of the layers and completely
recreating the bar in a new layer for the bottom. No dice. Photoshop
is insisting that if the drop shadow is at a certain angle on the top
bar, it has to be at the same angle for the bottom bar.

I know I could take care of this by alternating things when I am ready
to slice and saving the slices twice. Somehow, though, it doesn't
seem like I should have to trouble with that.

Anyone have any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks!
