Setting up a Portfolio – Using Featured image

Hi,

I bought Enfold a week ago and I’m not trying to set up a site locally on my computer and will move it to the Live site when it’s done. It’s a great theme and I think one can create great sites with it.

One thing I’m having an issue with is setting up a Portfolio. I am going to use the site for Photography and to sell the images. In my current site, I have each image entry done as a Post. With Enfold, I am thinking I can make each image entry as a Portfolio item and each image fits into a category.

If now I create a Portfolio item or entry, I can add the image/picture to the Avia Layout Builder section, setup the Tags and Categories like a normal Post. This works fine.
When I then go and look at the Portfolio Page, I won’t see a thumbnail of this post, just the image caption. In order to see an thumbnail of this image, in the Portfolio item, I have to add a Featured Image. Then on the top level Portfolio page, I see the thumbnail of the image.

However, if I think click on it and go to the Image page, I see the featured image at the top and then the main image underneath. I guess this is overkill. Is there a way to not show the featured image above the main image?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers
