Discrete Fourier Transform in 2D

Hi,
I am trying to creating an algorithm to compute the fourier transform of a 2D array for use in a program which compares the performance of image filters in the spatial vs frequency domain.
Part of the transform equation contains the term: exp(-j * 2 * pi * ((u * x) / M + (v * y) /N))
My question is, how can I get a real solution from this? Since u, v, x, and y are indexes they are positive, and since M and N are the dimensions of the original array they are also positive.
This leaves something like: exp(-j * c), where c is a positive constant which is calculated from the above givens. How can I ever get a real solution from this?
