I wonder if anyone can help me.

I have several shots of a large ceiling, which I would like to merge together.

Is there a photoshop photomerge type function that will merge the photos together in a tile like manor to create a square or a circle as appose to a panorama?

I may just be being stupid.... and it may be very obvious!
 
Not really. The purpose of the merge function is to create a panorama. You would have to adjust each image yourself if you want to pull together multiple rows and columns of images to make one large circle or square.

Your best bet is to post this at a Photoshop forum. I vaguely recall that Photoshop can do this, but I don't use the feature so I would hesitate to say for sure. But really, post this where their is a higher concentration of advanced Ps users. Not that there aren't Ps users here... just that a Ps forum will have more of them.
 
Have you tried photomerging horizontally adjacent shots row by row, then photomerging the resultant panoramas? I've had limited success with that. Otherwise, I'd rely on cutting/Warping areas that don't align.

Yeah I have kind of been doing that, i have photomerged each line, and then manually aligned the top and bottom edges, as I can't photomerge upwards.. (or can I??)
It's pretty time consuming to get it right, and I would like a simple button click function such as photomerge. It doesn't seem to beyond the realms of possibility but I don't know...
 
You can load all your pictures in as separate layers and use the auto-align layers function (Its under edit menu I think). I find Auto does a good job for obvious alignments, otherwise you may have to select an appropriate other method or do some manual fixing after it has done the alignment.

I find this the most user friendly way in PS.
