    Sorry I wasn't more clear. Don't merge the layers until you're finished with tweaking the layer-style attributes of the drop shadow. When you merge a layer with a layer-style active it will rasterize the layer. This means that it converts it from an algorithm driven layer, who's attributes you can edit in the layer-styles pallet, to a pixel mapping layer that is like any other painting layer. You only do this at the end if you want to edit the drop shadow with erasers or brushes.

    I've included some screen shots for illustration.

    Hope I made more sense this time.
