Ok, I got a couple of shapes, and if I change something in "blending options" it changes for all shapes.
How should I do to only change it for the active shape?

Put one of the shapes on a different layer.

I tried to create a new layer and then draw a rectangle in it.
And when I have done it it have the same "blending options" as the old layers. And if I change it I change all of them.
Damn, I suck at this.

What version of PS are you using?

Do you have your layers linked together (little chain thingy in the box on the left in your layer pallete)?

Using Photoshop CS
nope, they are not linked

ah, found it!
I had "Use Global Light" selected.

Thanks anyway!

OK, unless you have some defaults changed, it should go like this...

1. New file, whatever size/specs.
2. New layer.
3. Draw shape.
4. Edit blending options on this shape if needed.
5. Create another new layer.
6. Draw next shape.
7. Repeat step 4.

If you are working on different layers, and the layers are not linked, the blending options should only apply to the currently selected layer.
