The ability to create your own set of default bricks in the Adjust tab has been one of Aperture's most requested features. Apple has answered the call in version 2.1 by allowing you to decide which bricks load by default in your Adjust tab or on the HUD.

All you have to do is load the brick you want to add, then choose "add to" default set from its gear popup menu. If you want to remove a brick from the defaults, just select that option from the popup.

Obviously, if you've used an adjustment perviously for an image, its brick will appear in the menu when you open that image. But you probably want that.

Oh, and we get a new brick too... the Flip Brick. Yes, you can now flip your images horizontally and vertically.

So, even though Edit API is the really big news in this 2.1 update, giving us control over the bricks is going to be one of its more popular features. Who wouldn't want this capability?
