To help us to help you, please be a little more specific: What problem do you have?

[MikaelMadsen]

okay, the issue is that under the belt there are some really irritating shadows, the picture that i want is only the belt nothing else, i tried to paint it over but i wondered if there is a better and faster way to do it??

Try the magnetic lasso. This should be pretty easy considering that the belt has such a well-defined edge.
Also, the shadow is pretty light, so maybe even the curves tool could work. (Haven't tried it, but should be very easy, as well.)

Using the Pen Tool I selected the shadow and then cloned in the background. Could have been a little more careful with my selection.
