    is the shadow cast by a 3d layer from a light source, or is it the drop shadow effect or layer style?

    if it is a 3d shadow, then i don’t think so…

    if it is either of the other two choices, then yes… in fact it shouldn’t react to the camera, it should be stuck to the layer.

    could you be more specific? I don’t think I got it exactly what you’re trying to do.

    We got a couple of possible situations, like Kevin said. If it is a 3d light casting the shadow, perhaps linking it to the camera? I don’t know what this woul’d do to your lightining though. This leads to some options, depending on your goal.
