The reason why most encryption cannot be denied is because the encrypted files have recognizable headers that allow forensic examination to easily identify them as encrypted. What you really need is an encryption app that encrypts without adding a header to the encrypted data, and then converts the encrypted data to an image format. The resulting image file would look like noise or could be combined with a real image. This would create absolute deniability because the even the application itself should not know the difference between a regular image and the secret image. It would try to apply the reversal process to whichever file it is pointed at but it would only work if the correct password was entered and the image really is one of the secret images.
