Yes I was reminded of that too.
This is Fsharp_Succinctly.pdf[^] for you. Isn't it in a way astonishing that all your hard work can be represented by an image that doesn't even fill your screen?

Leslie taps you on the shoulder: CP's Corinna John has a whole stack of articles on steganography[^].

It's not about steganography at all, please read my back-and-forth with OG.

Ya, I saw them a while after posting. But hey, just use a weak steganophraphy algorithm, with a low 'hide factor'.

A modified form of steganography ...

Not necessarily - the idea of steganography is that you can't tell there is data embedded in the image. From what I read, he's not trying to do that.

Are you referring to an application that uses steganography[^]?
If so, yours truly is in the process (when he gets off his big fat arse) of preparing an application[^], for release, that does this.

It's not intended to hide the data in an existing image. The output image would be only the source data packed into an image so it could be uploaded to an image sharing site or for whatever other purpose you could find.

So the purpose of transforming the data into an image format would be purely so that it can be held on an image sharing site?
I don't get it - what is the advantage of having it on an image sharing site when you could just put it as the original file on dropbox?

Unless I'm missing one of its features, no - but thanks for pointing out this tool, might come in handy some day

I thought the image part on the right side of the screenshot there is exactly that - a binary file depicted as an array of RGBs.

Yes, in a way it is - but the HexEdit-tool doesn't allow you do actually save it as an image and reverse it I think.

I think novel ideas that seem to "fall between the cracks" of existing application -domains are always interesting, even if their immediate practical application does not "jump out at you."
Why not write it up as a CP article ? I think content of how you went about ensuring the file's bunch-of-bits was "packaged" as a valid bit-map file would be of interest, technically, and details of the decoding process might be of value.

While there are some small details to it, it turned out to be rather easy: Basically you can just create a Windows.Drawing.Bitmap with an IntPtr to your whatever-data and then call Bitmap.Save(..). The real value of it would have been a practical application. But I'll keep it in mind and maybe I'll write it up 
cheers, Sascha

For what it's worth, many hosts will (re)compress uploaded images. (StackOverflow is just one example) If that happens the image is obviously ruined for this use-case.
