ahh! layer style quirk

[dru_nasty]

This if f'ed! I need to get this christmas card to print tomorrow, and my layer styles are wacked. Basically, I'm making ornaments using the eliptical shape tool, I then rasterized the shape, then open up my layer styles.

When i check more than one layer style (like drop shadow, then inner shadow,etc) and I adjust the settings, it seem that the light angle will change all of the checked styles to the last angle I entered. If that makes any sense. So say I added a drop shadow with a 113 angle, then highlighted and checked the inner shadow and added a -39 angel to that, if I click back on the drop shadow to see the settings, its at -39! WTF.

Anyone got any ideas?

some people swear on illustrator or other vector-ish apps... Let'em be that way dudes...

MS Paint is defenitely industry standard when it comes to print work. Use that. :P

for print it goes without saying that illustrator is my top choice, (export pdfs from illustrator), but you can't say that photoshop is "bad" for print, thats just a uneducated guess. ;P
