Dear Sandro de Luelmo,

image filtering in ImageJ is possible in various ways.

The quickest but perhaps not the most educative way is to use the

  "FFT > CutsomFilter..."-approach.

Open the filter function, make the image to be filtered the foremost
window and select the above menu. In the appearing dialog select the
filter function and there it is -- the filtered image!

Caution! The original image is overwritten by the result, so you
should use a copy of the image.

Make sure that image and filter functions are ( 2^n x 2^n )-sized!

There are other methods, especially the use of the plugin FFTJ, but
they require more preparatory work and especially a good
understanding of the essential differences between the FT and the
discrete FT or the FFT.
