Hi Vincent,

your question is not very clear...
Anyhow, for more details on the Fourier-domain filter, see this recent post (beware of a possible line break introduced by the mailer in the link):

https://list.nih.gov/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind1311&L=IMAGEJ&D=0&1=IMAGEJ&9=A&P=187719

Essentially, you can do the same type of filtering with Process>Filters>Gaussian Blur (low pass) or subtracting the Gaussian blurred image (highpass). A high pass filter working like this is also available as a filter with preview:
