Apparatus, method, and program for processing image

A method of processing an image, the method comprising:

• determining an area corresponding to a white-saturation area comprised in a raw image based on raw data representing the raw image, wherein the raw image is obtained by photographing and is not processed;
• and
• selectively performing an image space frequency distribution conversion on a portion of the raw data that corresponds to the determined area corresponding to the white-saturation area,
• wherein when performing the image space frequency distribution conversion, luminance changes of pixels which are not a preset reference pixel is reduced in the area corresponding to the white-saturation area.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program, which, when executed by a computer, performs a method of processing an image, the method comprising:

• determining an area corresponding to a white-saturation area comprised in a raw image based on raw data representing the raw image, wherein the raw image is obtained by photographing and is not processed;
• and
• selectively performing an image space frequency distribution conversion on a portion of the raw data that corresponds to the determined area corresponding to the white-saturation area,
• wherein when performing the image space frequency distribution conversion, luminance changes of pixels which are not a preset reference pixel is reduced in the area corresponding to the white-saturation area.
