Aperture OnScreen Profiling incorrect on El Capitan 10.11

After updating to the first release of OS X 10.11 El Capitan, the OnScreen Profiling feature in Aperture 3.6 shows a Viewer image that is too light and low contrast. The images in the Browser (thumbnails) look normal, but selecting any image results in a washed-out image in the Viewer. If I turn off OnScreen Profiling, the image in the Viewer appears normal again. It’s not a problem with the profile selected, as I tried all kinds of profiles with the same result. Usually I set the profile to the printer paper I’m using, but I get the same result if I set it to anything.

I’m not sure if I should regenerate images. Certainly don’t want to ruin everything in the Library! Thought I’d see if anyone else knows how to get back to OnScreen Profiling with good results. If so, how did you do it? Thanks.

Issue is resolved. Onscreen proofing works again as expected after the El Capitan 10.11.2 update released Tuesday, December 8, 2015. This fix by Apple was not specifically identified in the list of updates, Nice to have such an important Aperture feature restored.

Would be better to have Aperture's status restored too! I haven't found anything as good in terms of library management. Not wanting to subscribe to Adobe Lightroom but feel the day after I purchase a copy of Lightroom, Adobe will announce it too is no longer supported except by subscription!
