Question

How do I make the shadow stay in the same direction when I rotate my object?

I am working with some objects in photoshop and when I rotate one object the shadow rotates as well so it looks like it has a different light direction as the other images.

If the shadow rotates with your object, it’s part of that object and not generated by Photoshop. Could your post a screenshot of your layer palette?

If you're using a drop shadow, use Global light, so the light direction stays the same.
