Contacts will not import photo from Photos

When I try to change the photo of a contact in my Contacts app, the photos in my Photos app will not show any of the photos I have, despite there being over 2000 photos in my Photos app.


Why is this occurring and how may it be corrected?


iMac, OS X 10.11

In Photos Preferences, is your loaded library set as the System Library?


You could just drag the photo from Photos into the picture well in Contacts.
