Yes, I did.
The only hint about the size of the filtering :
...
Filters out large structures (shading correction) and small structures
(smoothing) of the specified size by gaussian filtering in fourier
space.
...
does not seem to answer my question or am I missing something?

Did you look at

<http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/fft-filter.html>

as recommended in the ImageJ-manual?
