To make multiple selections first select one area and then hold shift before you start the next area.

Now here's the nice part: First make the tinting layer visible again. Hold ctrl and click down on the windows layer thumbnail and then select the tinting layer. Right click and select inverse and hit delete. That saves time of having to do the selection all over again.
