The final version of the Aperture SDK has been released by Apple. The professional photo app’s Software Developer’s Kit allows developers to create custom plug-ins for Aperture 2.1, which was the first version of the Aperture software to introduce an open architecture for the application.
There are already a handful of plug-ins available for Aperture, including Apple’s Dodge & Burn, Tiffen’s Dfx Digital Filter Suite, and a trio of plug-ins from Digital Film Tools. Additional plug-ins from dvGarage, Image Trends’, and PictureCode are expected soon.
