Hide In Picture version 2.1

Hide In Picture is a steganography program - it allows you to "hide" another file inside a standard bitmap image. So, for example - you could "hide" a text file inside an image of a cat and send that to your friend. As long as your friend knew that the text file was in there (and the password if you set one), he could use the software to find it. Anyone looking at the picture without knowing something was hidden inside would never know it was there - the changes made to the image are too subtle to be seen by the human eye.

There's not much to say about the program itself - choose an image, choose a file to hide in it...enter a password if you want to and off it goes. That's all there is to it. It's not the greatest interface in the world, but it doesn't need to be.
