fft2d-highpass

Applies a highpass filter to a BMP image, using a ​Fast Fourier Transform. The first argument is the lower cutoff frequency.

Each of the RGB channels is converted to the frequency domain, the lower frequencies are set to zero, then the channels are converted back to the image domain.
