An algorithm's ability to store the maximum amount of data in an image is a measure on a scale, from not being able to store any information to the maximum capacity that an image can store.
Maximum capacity is achieved by using all the available raster values.
Without a mask Since this type of the insertion methods does use all pixels, then this sort always gives a maximum capacity. The data capacity of an image against its uncompressed size 4.1.2 With a mask When a mask is used, it is more difficult to assess the capacity because the capacity directly corresponds to the subject of the image. For a non-perfect mask, the amount that can be stored is also limited by synchronising and the use of Hamming codes. However, the result is this still cuts the amount of space used by another half. Description No. of bytes using one block.
