Re: "Slider and toggle points are invisible. My entire mac and all my photos have a distressing garish posterized appearance. Setting is frozen on maximum in error and I cannot find the slider or return the monitor to normal."

Re: "Changing display settings in accessibility on my mac"
To change these settings, choose Apple menu
> System Settings, click Accessibility
in the sidebar, then click Display on the right. (You may need to scroll down.)
Eg: You might want to check the Options for Filter settings to see if you can turn off the. posterized appearance .. maybe then you can access the items that were "invisible" again?
For details see: Change Display settings for accessibility on Mac - Apple Support
