I've found from painful personal experience that it is
usually safer to read the documentation than to make
an assumption about how IDL does or does not work. :-)
In this case, although the FFT documentation inexplicably
does not say *specifically* that it works with 2D arrays,
it does say that the output array "has the same dimensions
as the input array." I take this to mean that it is safe
to process images with the FFT function. In fact, you can
find information on my web page about how to create
frequency filters and image power spectrums using the
FFT function.
Cheers,
David
