@stebbib Could this be something you could look at after solving #27?

I have this strong feeling that this is some sort of thing where each pixel is some data and when you write it all out there's some data in there.

I think this might be it. Trying it now.

1/2 beer in.

Finally, we increase the size from 4032 to something a bit bigger such as 4245. Converting this to hex gives us 1095 so we replace the existing data with this value.

Not sure how this person got to 4245 so I'm parking it and looking for other solutions.

Get pixel info with python Pillow==3.3.1

from PIL import Image

img = Image.open('pixel.png', 'r')
pixels = img.getdata()

with open('pixels.txt', 'w') as out:
    for pixel in pixels:
        out.write(str(pixel) + '\n')
