Thank you, I was sure I tried that but I guess not.

and as an FYI this code worked for the issue I have with no default image displayed. However I would prefer for the user to be able to select the default image with the GUI in the Customize settings.

<img src="<?php if (get_theme_mod( 'homepage_image' )) : echo get_theme_mod( 'homepage_image'); else: echo get_template_directory_uri().'/images/HalfShotbw.jpg'; endif; ?> " alt="Home Page Picture" />

Same unanswered issue here

Sorry I was trying different code and above is not the code that I believe is correct.

This is it

$wp_customize->add_section('gwenty_images' , array(
		'title' => __('Images', 'gwenty'),
		'description' => 'Modify Images'
		));

	$wp_customize->add_setting('homepage_image' , array(
			'default' => 'https://gwenty.com/example/wp-content/themes/gwenty/images/HalfShotbw.jpg',
		));

	$wp_customize->add_control( new WP_Customize_Image_Control($wp_customize, 'homepage_image' , array(
		'label' => __('Edit Home Page Image' , 'gwenty'),
		'section' => 'gwenty_images',
		'settings' => 'homepage_image'
		)));

And the website is still FAR from complete.

Thanks,

Same issue for me.. I just need the new code for the slideshow.
