Exporting Using Plug-ins
Third-party applications or photography services can now supply plug-ins that allow
Aperture to export files with the format and settings the application or service requires.
For example, a stock photography service or print lab may require that images be
transferred to them at a specific size, a specific file format, or with particular types of
metadata. Such a service can create its own plug-in that automatically sets up Aperture
to export files with precisely the characteristics the service needs.
To use an export plug-in, you must first obtain the plug-in software from the service or
application vendor and install it. Third-party plug-ins for Aperture are stored in one of
the following locations:
 /Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/Export/
or
 /Users/ username /Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/Export/
Enhanced Loupe Options
Aperture 1.5 provides enhancements to the Loupe. For more information, see the
Late-Breaking News document, available from the Aperture Help menu.
Working with Adjustment Presets
If you frequently use the same adjustment parameter settings, you can now take
advantage of the ability of Aperture 1.5 to save these settings as adjustment presets.
You can create new adjustment presets, rename and rearrange adjustment presets, and
delete adjustment presets you no longer use. When you delete an adjustment preset,
adjustments already applied to your images are unaffected. Each individual adjustment
has its own set of presets accessible via its Preset Action pop-up menu. (Adjustment
presets do not appear in the Preset Action pop-up menu until you create them.)
Saving RAW Fine Tuning Presets
In Aperture 1.5, you can now save RAW Fine Tuning parameter settings in the same
manner as adjustment presets. This means you can now specify settings for multiple
cameras. As in Aperture 1.1, you can still save a single group of settings for each
camera model as the Camera Default. For more information about using adjustment
presets, see “
Working with Adjustment Presets ” on page 5. For more information
about using the RAW Fine Tuning controls, see “ Previous Release Information About
Aperture 1.1 ” on page 9.
