In a normal photo, after a resolution change and a lossy compression, you still have the photo.

If you encode some binary data in a fake photo, after a resolution change and a lossy compression, you will only get garbage.

It depends on the encoding. If it's sufficiently low frequency and includes error correction, then your data could survive. You won't get very good efficiency though!
