I am fairly new to Photoshop and would really appreciate it if you could help me with this
I am trying to fit in these 5 screenshots to create a wallpaper for my personal use, not looking to make any money out of it.
How can I make the lighting and colors match etc
Thanks

I'd hate to have to do it manually with curves or levels, because the differences are not consistent across the width of the intersections. If you have the layers, try selecting them, and Edit > Auto Blend Layers with Seamless tones and colors checked. If you could give us a link to the original, we might be able to help some more. For instance, you could try right clicking the image in Chrome, and using Search Google for image.
Which will find all available sizes of that same image. In this instance there is not a bigger one, but you might be lucky and find a high res version that is easy to copy, rather than take a series of screen shots.
My outside two screens are in portrait mode, which lets me get higher res screen shots of portrait mode images. This is one of those situations where a 4K monitor might actually be useful.
Meh. Could be better, but didn't feel like spending more than 10 minutes on this.

You picked a difficult clip to grab, as it suddenly goes much brighter part way into the vertical pan. I took a different approach keeping the clean first part of the clip, and blended it into the rest where all that texture is going on.
Note, I have put this up nearly full size, so if you want to use it, click on it to expand, and right click and copy.
To do it yourself, copy the screen with at least 50% overlap as it pans up the body, and paste as layers into a single document with lots of spare vertical resolution. (2500 x 6000 pixels suited thew screen I was using.) Then select all the layers you pasted, and go Edit > Auto Align Layers and chose Reposition
I found that made a good job of the upper layers, but the feet are just too different from the rest for Photoshop to make sense of. So ignore the feet for now.
You can see that most of lines up, but the tonal values don't match.
Select the layers (but not the feet) and go Edit > Auto Blend Layers with Seamless Tones and Colors and Stack Images selected. Click OK, but note that it might take a few minutes.
Not great, but much better than it was, and can you see how complex the layer masks are? That's what I was talking about when I said I'd hate to have to do it manually back up the thread.
Now line up the feet layer and add a layer mask. Then feather the body and feet using a gradient in the layer mask. It's easier if you set the gradient to Foreground to Transparent, as that lets you sneak on it with multiple attempts
Flatten the image and touch up manually. Job done
