dmg where created using the extended journal (HFS+) format, then it may not be possible to open them on a apfs. MacOS High Sierra (10.13) you had an option to bow out of converting to apfs, macOS Mojave made this more difficult, and macOS Catalina demands apfs. You reinstalled Mojave, did you change to the newer APFS ? Your macOS issues- you were running Mojave(?) formatted as HFS(?) or was it formatted as APFS(?) I am trying to think through the issue here. Please post some reference to the that you mention. macOS claims that they 'could not be recognized'

dmg that I created in disk utility didn't want to mount. Before doing that I saved my whole pictures folder - or rather the program that is called 'Pictures' - the app Only way out was to internet-recover a fresh install of the OS.

Is there any way I can extract these pictures or what might be left of them? Any way to force it open? Split it up and avoid any bad parts of the image? Fix the image? What can be done? Terminal will not either recognize the image using hdiutil. The file size is the anticipated 27,46gb. The image is mounting with the correct program, diskimagemounter. Since this isn't a download from the internet, but rather an image created directly from the machine none of the other cases I've read about applies. macOS claims that they 'could not be recognized' which I've since learned is a common error on. Once the Macbook was up and running again on a fresh install those. One of which I know completed and gave a green checkmark. All of it totaled some 25-30 gigabytes of data, saved onto a 32gb stick and put onto my windows desktop for keeping.
