Using Aperty in the plug-in mode

While Aperty functions as a full-featured, stand-alone application, you can still use it as a plug-in within other popular photo editing software. During the initial installation of Aperty, you’ll have the option to install plug-ins for any compatible software detected on your system. These plug-ins can also be installed at a later time.

You’ll have the option to install Aperty as a plug-in when you first run the installer, but you can also add it as a plug-in at any time afterward. Installing plug-ins is optional, so you may skip this step if you prefer.

Aperty can be used as a plug-in with the following applications:

Aperty with Adobe Photoshop

Aperty with Adobe Lightroom Classic

Aperty for macOS Extension

Aperty with Luminar Neo

To install Aperty as a plug-in:

1. Quit any host applications you plan to install the plug-in for.

2. Launch Aperty.

3. For macOS: Go to Aperty > Install Plugins; for Windows: Go to Aperty > File > Install Plugins.

4. In the dialog box that appears, select the host applications where you’d like Aperty to function as a plug-in.

5. Click Install for the corresponding apps.

Windows users should run Aperty as an administrator when installing plug-ins. Right-click the Aperty icon and select Run as administrator if prompted. You may be asked to enter your Administrator password to complete the installation.
