[Gimp-user] select region inside a rectangle

[Adrian Dusa]

Dear all,

I'm a Gimp newbie, using it for a long time but at an amateur level.
I have the following (hopefully simple) problem: given two rectangles with a 
common border, is there a way to select the region *inside* one rectangle (to 
fill it with another color), without affecting the contents of the other 
rectangle?

I attached a .png file just for illustration, I hope attachments are allowed.
The problem is of course simplified, in the real problem I have different 
shapes for each rectangle (but still with comon borders, like in maps).

Thanks for any hint,
Adrian
