*Not all third-party plug-ins are 64-bit compatible, and therefore cannot be used with Aperture 3 running in 64-bit mode on Snow Leopard. These plug-ins can be used by relaunching Aperture in 32-bit mode. Check directly with plug-in vendors about the availability of 64-bit versions of their plug-ins.
