Each time I'm going to select a face picture for my contact in the MacBook Pro (Mid. 2010 OS X 10.11) and I select the option Faces the window display the following message:
Find and organise photos of <name_of_the_contact> in the photo app using Faces.
The problem here is that I would like to choose a photo among the available pics in the Photo app for my contacts. Obviously I set one pics in the app Photo but these are not present in the list when I edit the photo in the contacts app. The two app appear to be not related each other.
Someone have had the same problem and maybe solve it?

I think you may have hit the difference between the old handling of Faces & the new.
If your Face is tagged as 'john', & 'john' is not in your Contacts list, it cannot find him.
If he's tagged as John Smith - john.smith@me.com then he can be found.
The only way to associate the two is to click the name under the face in Photos, start typing the name, then pick john.smith@me.com instead of just 'john'.
Then when you go back to Contacts, it can associate the Faces selection with the appropriate Contact.
Here's an example using some Davids - the top ones are my 'Faces' as I already have them; underneath are the same people as 'Contacts' which is imho a lot less 'chummy' but how you must tag people before they will correctly link as Contacts.
