• obtaining a target image from a memory or a camera;
• generating meta data corresponding to attribute information of the obtained target image;
• and
• compressing the target image based on, at least, the generated meta data,
• wherein the compressing of the target image includes restoring the compressed target image and recompressing the restored target image based on, at least, previously stored meta data.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium recording a program, which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to execute:

• an operation of obtaining a target image from a memory or a camera;
• an operation of generating meta data corresponding to attribute information of the obtained target image;
• and
• an operation of compressing the target image based on, at least, the generated meta data.
