Use photorec to now pull photos out of the data.
# photorec cdimage
It'll ask where you want to put the data etc, and it'll dump all the
files it can find based on signature searching.

Sorry to contact you this way. But I have racked my brain trying
desperately to imitate that I am as intelligent as you guys and I am
totally out of energy.
I used ddrescue 1.19 to rescue a badly scratched CD containing photos of a
soldier who died recently. The family asked if I could retrieve images
from a damaged CD. I would be really excited to tell them I recovered the
photos using ddrescue on Linux Mint 18. The command was (as per your
manual's example):
--------------------------------------------------
ddrescue -n -b2048 /dev/cdrom cdimage mapfile
--------------------------------------------------
Now, I am totally blown away as to the next step. First, I don't know if I
have anything to offer them. Here are the results:
--------------------------------------------------
rescued: 320307 kB, errsize: 18354 kB, errors: 279
Current status
rescued: 322701 kB, errsize: 15960 kB, current rate: 0 B/s
ipos: 338659 kB, errors: 273, average rate: 1251 B/s
opos: 338659 kB, run time: 31.88 m, successful read: 13 s ago
Finished
---------------------------------------------------
Second, I have searched for hours to figure out what to do with "cdimage".
I have the file on my hard drive. But nobody seems to be able to tell me
in stupid language how to turn "cdimage" into a photo CD.
Please help. I am at the end of my rope.
Thanks in advance,

P.S. I am not charging these people anything to do this. They have
already paid a tremendous personal amount.
