How are you guys doing the new and featured images on the front page? I'm not terribly new to wordpress but I can't for the life of me figure it out.

There are widgets for both of those. You place them into whichever areas of the page you want. So WordPress admin page Appearance/Widgets

You will probably do better asking questions in the Symbiostock forums. Come join us over there:

I'm there too

I did that, does the page need to be named "Home Page" or something?

Hmmm... I got latest to work using the shortcode for the slider. Which I suppose is sufficient for now ... Is there a shortcode for categories? :/

I'm using CleanTheme 2.0 not the basic child theme, so I'm not sure how my page sidebars might differ from yours, but it's not the page name but the template that will determine which areas you have in which widgets can go.

I have Home Page (Above Content), Home Page (Below Content) and so on. There is a Categories widget, but I'm not sure how I'd find out its shortcode (if there is one)

wull shoot, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong ... I drag the widgets over there but I'm not getting any response from it no matter where I put them.

What page template are you using on the page that doesn't show the widgets? If it doesn't have that area defined, you won't see them...

I am using the home page cta template, then the widget for those are in below content. Also you have to have the related posts by taxonomy plugin activated.
