Plug-In Components
Aperture supports plug-ins (small functions which users can download and add into their Aperture installation). Each plug-in is designed to offer a specific tool or effect that isn't otherwise installed in the main program. Apple offers official plug-ins, but they are widely available from third-party sources as well.Apple: Aperture Resources
