Sometimes in Photoshop I'm working with images at very close-up levels,
such as small animated GIFs and emoticons. Often I'm zoomed in all the way, working at pixel level.
If I've got a selection loaded, but want to 'edit' it by adding – or removing – single pixels at a time, is there a way to do this?
It's a very simple thing I need to do: just click on individual pixels and somehow add/remove them from the current selection.
For example: in the image below, you can see the area I have selected, and I want to deselect the two blue pixels down the bottom left, from that particular selection.
Does Photoshop actually allow such fine control over selection areas and shapes?
Thanks.

Yes it does. Just use the "Rectangular marquee tool", hold Alt, click on any corner of the pixel you want to deselect, drag your mouse to the opposite corner and release.
