Method 2 (Non-destructive but awkward): A) Draw a rectangle above the image that outlines the boundaries you need for the crop. B) In the Layers panel or on the artboard, select both the rectangle and the image. C) From the top menu, choose Object > Clipping Mask > Make *or* use the keyboard shortcut Cmd/Ctl-7.
