How do I add a custom thumbnail image to a product?

When you upload an image for a product and set it as your Featured image it automatically generates a thumbnail image which is used in your category listing as well as widgets and other promotional tools such as the Featured Product item.

If you would like to specify a custom thumbnail image instead of this automatically generated version you can upload one through your product images screen.
