Editing or deleting one of several rectangle selections

So as Ofnuts and rich2005 describe, you need to add-to or subtract-from your existing selection to get the shape you want.

Thanks for everyone's replies!  I tried the technique of selecting "Subtract from the current selection" and then selecting an overlaying rectangle that is bigger than the one I want to remove.  This worked fine, the underlying selection was removed.

After viewing all of the material, my take-away is that there is no way to select one of the isolated regions of selection and then modify it as if it was just created.  When I first create an area of selection, I can stretch/shrink it in all directions.  It doesn't sound like, after I create my 10 regions of selection, that I can pick one of them and edit it as if it was just created.

It sounds like I would need to first delete it (via the above subtract technique) and then re-create it anew, which would allow me to re-size it to the size I want.  This would be fine, it would be much better than deleting all of them and starting over.

Please let me know if my understanding is correct.

Thanks again.
