Hello,

I am attempting to complete a project in Illustrator. Every time I attempt I run into this and usually end up giving up but I am super motivated. I can't for the life of me figure out how to crop my image. I know that there is supposed to be a button that says "Crop" next to "Mask" on the toolbar, but I see no such button. I haven't found any other explanation. Help would be greatly appreciated

    I can see (your screendump shows the old tool icons) that you are using an older version.

    Update to the latest version to get the Crop function.

    Hi,

    I guess that you don't use latest version of illustrator and so you should use Clipping Mask option to border images.

    After you select your image, go to OBJET > CROP IMAGE. (It's just above Rasterize) That will give you a crop bounding box similar to what you would see in other applications. It puts you into a temporary mode where all that image object is available. From there, you can adjust your crop however you would like.
