Looks like you may have introduced too much data into a too small picture,
the versions of that I've seen before weren't nearly that blurry.
Particularly the white hands on white background look awful -- I assume
the steganographic program tries to leave high-contrast lines alone or
something like that.

tried.

Only one succeeded.
