Hide data by embedding in the text file into a image with a modern and simple tkinter GUI (Or extract data from a data-embedded image)

Note:

=> This GUI-application uses the Least Significant Bit (LSB) steganography method without encryption <= The GUI does not encrypt the text file provided as input. I haven't included this functionality in the code yet.(it directly embeds the data from the text file into the image without any encryption) Therefore, if you're going to hide very important data, encrypt the data within the text file first and then provide it to the GUI.
