    I don't think you can go smaller than 1px - try asking at the Photoshoppage forum.

    No - a single pixel is the smallest area...

    Just aswell it's 'Pixel Perfect' work you're doing, and not 'Half a Pixel Perfect' work... ;)

    You could try some jiggery pokery, and effectively decrease the size of a pixel by increasing the image resolution but; TBH, chances are it won't give you what you need...

    Basically you need to start with larger (hi-res) images from the outset.

    Starting with a higher resolution image would not be the best way to go, because IF the pixel is the smallest measurement, then when Photoshop downsamples the resolution, parts of the image that were offset by 1pixel may suddenly become alligned. Just my two cents!
