Hello @fillinlight,
First of all thank you very much for using the pro version of the theme.
Now, the feature slider in the theme can be set using page, post, categories, tag etc.
If you are willing to use the pages then to change the image in featured slider you need to go to individual page edit screen and change the image in Feature Image section.

But if you want to set the slider using the post, categories, tags then you have to go to individual post edit screen and change the image.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.
Best Regards!!
