# Avoid watermarking post thumbnails

 * I’m using Signature Watermark on a site where we only want to watermark the full
   size images, not thumbnails or medium size images. This all works just fine, 
   until I go to set a featured image / post thumbnail for my post – as WordPress
   goes and gets the full size image and creates a new thumbnail from that, so my
   post thumbnail ends up with a watermark on it, which I don’t want.
 * I know this is probably more of either a WordPress or a theme issue, but as it
   seems to be a problem that may crop up from time to time for people wanting to
   watermark full size images but not thumbnails, I though I’d check here under 
   the plugin to see if anyone can suggest a solution.
 * I’ve so far had no luck in figuring out how to get WP to not create the post 
   thumbnail from the full size image.

 * The only solution we have at this time would be to use a different watermark 
   plugin, we offer several different options.
    If you used a plugin such as bulk
   watermark, you could upload images to your site normally, without adding watermarks.
   Then after the thumbnail is generated, you could manually add a watermark to 
   the full size image.
 * Hope this helps.
 * Thank You!
