Hi, the result of the 2d Fourier[] call is in the interval kx,ky \in [0,2Pi]. "Important" are the kx,ky with small absolute values , but with the periodic condition in kx and ky. So every quadrant in your image is important because a ki near 2Pi will map to a small ki in the periodic repeated area. You can use ShiftMatrix[m_?MatrixQ] := RotateLeft[RotateLeft[#, Length[#]/2] & /@ m, Length[m]/2] on your Fourier output. This shift the interval from ki \in [0,2Pi] to ki \in [-Pi,Pi] and all what is close to the center (the origin) of the image is important.
