Add borders to your images in Aperture
The BorderFX plugin adds a feature to Aperture, by letting you create and add good looking frames to your pictures.
The plugin is easy to install, however you'll only be able to use it when exporting your image.
You can really dig deep and create your own custom frame, setting things like shadow or blur, a bit of text, color or texture. Different output sizes can be selected from a drop down menu at the top.
The plugin displays a preview of your photo with its new border on the right side so you can see if you have it right before exporting. Once your satisfied with the job, just select a name format, and optionally a different name so you can find the photo with frame more easily, and just press the export button.
This plugin is easy for anyone to use and can really enhance the look of a picture. If you want to protect your creation, make sure you have also added a watermark to it.

Won't stop crashing :(.
My specs: OS 10.5.8 with Aperture 2.1.4.Program was easy to download and install. The few images I was able to work on came out great - the interface is very simple to use and it offers tons of customizable options, all with a minimum of mouse clicks or buttons. Even better, it's super easy to add text to the image, add a copyright, or place a watermark. In short, when the program works it works like a charm.But therein lies the problem . . .The program crashed my system 4 times in 20 minutes at which point I gave up. And when I say crash, I mean I hard to power down and then power back up, losing all the work I had open in my other projects. Worse, I can't find an e-mail for the author of the software so there is no way to submit feedback in the hopes the creative team can fix the problems. It's a shame, because like I said, for the brief amount of time that the program worked, it worked like a charm and produced some great looking images.
Pros:
Frames look excellent and it's SUPER easy to use, if only it would stop crashing.
Cons:
Any program that requires you to reboot your system every four minutes isn't very practical. More
