Having an issue in v0.7.3 where I am getting a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError. This happens in Data Hiding and Digital Watermarking. I am running Java Version 1.8.0_241. Running 16GB of Ram, OpenStego fully utilizes the CPU and takes about 1200 MB of ram before erroring out. Capture

This might happen with larger image files. Please increase the JVM memory allocation. In the bat/sh file change -Xmx1024m to -Xmx4096m (4gb allocation). You can increase as required. By the way, you should be using 64-bit java if you want to allocate more than 1.5GB memory.
