							 Not  to  knit-pick,  but  marble  isn't  always  smooth,  it  is  only  smooth  when  polished.    I  see  your  point  though,  any  tips  you  can  share  to  get  the  polished  look?

							 Should  have  chosen  granite  instead  of  marble,  LOL!        Please  feel  free  to  offer  up  any  other  ideas,  I  appreciate  them!

							 then  merge  layers  onto  one  layer  (control  alt  E)    set  on  overlay  and  blur  to  taste.        set  the  opacity  low.    I  would  use  a  lighten  layer  and  paint  back  in  the  sharp  highlights....    then  Cnt  alt  E  again  on  a  new  layer..    and  sharpen  ..  set  on  luminosity.

							 then  make  a  contrast  and  brightness  layer  to  make  it  black  and  white..        make  a  new  layer  and  paint  more  highlights  and  blur.        Cnt  sft  alt  E  one  more  time..  set  to  overlay  and  gaussen  blur  (take  your  time  on  the  level,  you  are  looking  for  light)

							 i  must  say  that  for  marble  u  should  have  polished"  it..i  mean  pulls  out  some  noise  of  the  source  to  male  it  slick.
