 If a theme defines an array for defining thumbnail support, like so:
 add_theme_support('post-thumbnails', 'posts'), then plugins cannot
 override it, meaning any plugin that creates a custom post type and wants
 it to utilize a featured image cannot do that with add_theme_support. A
 workaround has been posted here:
 http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/23839/using-add-theme-
 support-inside-a-plugin

 But there should be the ability to simply add more thumbnail support in a
 standard fashion.
