There are many different methods to ensure security in data communication. Steganography is one of the methods that can be used in secure data communication. In this study, n-LSB embedding method based on reducing the amount of distortion generated by the classical Least Significant Bit substitution method that we introduced in another study has been applied in both RGB color space and HSI, XYZ and YCbCr color spaces. In the embedding process, 3 message bits were embedded in each color channel. 7.94 kb data is embedded on 3 different cover images. The obtained results were compared with the PSNR criterion, which is the criterion of image quality evaluation, and it is seen that proposed n-LSB approach gives better results in HSI color space for 3 cover images. The highest PSNR value obtained was 83.907 dB. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.en10.1088/1757-899X/675/1/012029info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessColor spacesImage qualityImage steganographyN-LSB embeddingConference Object6751N/A
