I want to talk about data recovery.
I recently tried ddrescue; which, while reading through the documentation, seemed interesting enough to give it a try. But after completing the operation I was left with what seemed to be a clone of the failing drive copying over everything including the fucked up file system - making it worthless. I was curious if anyone has had success with ddrescue?
Now, PhotoRec did the job beautifully - it was almost too easy to use. But with that I'm left with another issue - how to automate the organization of all the file types? Some research is just giving me indexers which is useless for what I need, I can't hand a HDD to a client expecting them to sift through all the malware to find a jpeg of last Christmas.

PhotoRec is open-source. Just edit its code and make it sort the files.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head for what I'm going to have to do. Was just hoping to find an existing utility but I am not having any luck.

why don't you use utils to pick e.g. jpg files and filter by size to drop thumbnails

There's also http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Scripted_run#PhotoRec but I don't know if any of those commands do what you need
