The Perspective option (see step 7) uses one image as a reference and adjusts the perspective of the other images to match by overlapping the content of the reference image. The Cylindrical option reduces the bowed shape that can occur in some merged photos, and Spherical has the opposite effect. Collage and Reposition help Photoshop align uneven images.
In the Photomerge dialog box, you can add more files to be included in the merge by clicking the Browse button again and navigating to the new source files to be added. You can always remove a file from the Source Files list by selecting the file and clicking Remove.
