how to create round corners / edges of an image in illustrator ?

I have googled a lot but everywhere I find round corners of a shape by going to "Choose Effect > Stylize > Round Corners."

But I DO NOT want round corners of a shape, I have a image (jpeg), how to cut the corners and make them round ?

please help

You can create a rounded rectangle and put it above your image. Select both (image and shape) and go Object > Clipping Mask > Make. This will create a mask and it´s a group.

You can acess Layers panel....open the group hierarchy..move the image and the mask as separated itens.
