You need to
a) come up with an image format, and include the capability to store
extra-image data as messages (as comments, or by ignoring bits in a
regular fashion & putting them together later) or
b) Use an existing image format which already includes this capability.
There are many, for example pnm (uncompressed rgb 8-bit values with a
header), png, gif (header), jpeg (header) - for most of these a perusal
of the source code for the gimp in plugins/common may help.
