How to install plugins in Aperture

On my iMac the Aperture Plugins are no longer there [they are on my MacBook Pro] -- I do have things which I used to have as plugins in Aperture == Creative Kit, Aurora HDR, Intensify CK and regular etc. How do I make them Plug Ins yet again = every time I go to Aperture Plugins within Aperture it takes me to Photos.

iMac 27" 5K, macOS 10.14

You can install Aperture Plugins manually, Victoria.


Copy them from your MacBook pro to the corresponding folder on your other Mac.

My Aperture plug-ins are installed in one of the Library folders, either in the top level Library folder on the system volume or in the user library. Check these folders for plug-ins and copy them over:


  • The user Library: ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/Edit/
  • The system level Library: /Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/Edit/


The menu item "Aperture Plugins" used to link to a page, where you could purchase plug-ins. This page no longer exists. But if you launch Aurora HDR, for example, and use the command Aurora HDR > Install Plug-ins, it will ask you, if you want to install the plug-in for Aperture.
