Limitations

Picture Messanger have some limitations pertaining carrier image, apart
from it being a 24bit color uncompressed Windows BMP.
After the message if concealed in the image, you cannot convert it to
JPEG to reduce the file size, nor can reduce it's color depth or size.
You see JPEG uses lossy compression to store the image, and in this process
it removes a large amount of information from image, which is needed to
read the message. So, to reduce the file size, you can only
ZIP the image file after concealing the message.
