We should start a group, and collaborate on this. I think it'd be interesting.
I have a really good idea that will make data corruption from compression software, or something of that matter innate. Because currently, if you were to send an image across Gmail, or a platform of that nature, it'd compress the file's RGB color values, and make the image virtually unreadable. I have a good plan to fix this, and make this software a robust, reliable program.
Again, we need to collaborate on this.

Yeah. I could make us a github repo that you have push access to. Also my plan for color correction it that like we codes use things around the edges. I will be using colors around the edge to find the changes to the rgb values from there base.

It is not clear to me if you are just trying to use an image as a data container, trying to create a kind of barcode, or are trying to add hidden data into and image. In any case many of the issues your are thinking about are covered in the area of imaging technology called Stegonography. This is the embedding of data into an image and its retrieval from the image after it has gone through various transformations including lossy compression. Let's just say - it is heavily researched and many companies have lived and died implementing various techniques. The most famous one is Digimarc. There are also numerous open source "Stego" projects out there that are worth exploring.

If this turns into a collaboration, I definitely think the code should be more readable. I also do like the idea of the 1px dimensions.
It would be nice to see both form implemented. Interesting topic.

I have not been able to work on this the whole week because of theater.

@wradcliffe I understand this. I have heard of Steganography before, and I know what it is. I just haven't been able to do something of this magnitude before considering I just barely learned about how to manipulate image files.

Interesting. Well right now I am completely rewriting this because I accidentally deleted Pythonista on my iPad...

https://github.com/fgrimme/Matroschka Another pure Python implementation. From Berlin.

Sorry for the crazy bump.
But I am not doing steganography. As I am not hiding data inside of a image. It's more of I am storing the data as pixels instead of as normal binary.
