So, Photoshop or any other stand-alone app is no problem--it's one of the core preferences. If you want to configure the Gimp as your external editor, it'll depend on how you've installed the gimp. If you installed the Gimp such that it's listed in Applications, then you can link it using the Aperture preferences. However, if it's installed via MacPorts and is running via X11, you won't be able to link to it directly (you'd need to export a version and open with the Gimp manually). There's certainly a way to create an application launcher that would start Gimp within the X11 environment, but I haven't yet attempted to set this up (simply because I don't use an external editor often enough that I have to think about it). @Mark: Aperture allows you to configure an external editor so that you can easily export versions for detailed changes.

Can you do that, if, say, you want to use the Lens Distortion correction filter or something? What about integration with Photoshop (or the Gimp)?
