I'm worried that you are using Powerful Techniques (like FFTs, EEGs, etc.) for which tools exist in LabVIEW, but you neither have the basic LabVIEW skills necessary to create code using LabVIEW, but you also may not have an understanding of the kind of signal processing that is required to accomplish a particular task.
If you are going to use the LabVIEW Image Processing Tools to do anything more sophisticated than saving images, then you need a body of knowledge about how to work with images, including acquiring them, modifying them, processing them, and, if you are doing anything with color, there's a whole other set of somewhat complex basic knowledge you will need.
Do you know what it is that you want to do? Do you know algorithms that will allow you to do this?
I'm a great believer in "learn by experimenting with the code". This works very well when the data are simple, like a string (for example, parsing string data) or numeric data (for example, creating a multi-channel scrolling graph from sampled data). However, when working with Image data, the basic data structure is so much more complicated (two spatial dimensions + an intensity/color dimension), and, to make things more complicated, there are fewer tutorials and text material available.
Do you have something specific that you would like to do? Can you describe what that is, from a "high level" (that is, independent of the implementation, i.e. without mentioning LabVIEW, and, perhaps, without mentioning FFTs)?
