you can try.. Yes, convert both maps into Fourier space equivalents and 
feed into the program. Note, you need  two models that fit two maps. The 
way it works is that it superposes models first, then applies 
corresponding operators (that superpose models) to maps. I can't 
remember anyone asking this questions before on this list or myself 
directly.

Share your experience!

Good luck,
Pavel
