Aperture released Apertur 2.1, which introduces an open plug-in architecture that makes it easy for photographers to use specialized third party imaging software right from within Aperture. Available today as a free software update, Aperture 2.1 includes the Apple-developed plug-in, Dodge & Burn, which adds brush-based tools for dodge (lighten), burn (darken), contrast, saturation, sharpen and blur. Over the coming months, third party software developers will deliver image editing plug-ins for localized editing, filters and effects, noise analysis and reduction, fisheye lens correction and more.

By clicking on one or more images within Aperture, users can choose from a
menu of installed plug-ins and apply specialized imaging operations to either
TIFF or RAW images. Apple is working closely with key developers to bring the
most requested plug-ins to Aperture such as:
- Nik Software’s Viveza plug-in, powered by U Point technology, which provides a
powerful, precise and easy way for photographers to selectively control and
adjust color and light in their digital images;
- PictureCode’s Noise Ninja plug-in that delivers advanced high ISO noise
analysis and reduction;
- Digital Film Tools’ Power Stroke plug-in that features a simple, stroke-based
interface to quickly mask and intuitively perform targeted adjustments;
- The Tiffen Company's Dfx plug-in that provides an expansive suite of creative
filters and effects
