Other than cropping, I was able to use edit wrap points to edit pictures to get just a portion of the object. How does this work in Publisher 2013?

Unless the freehand shape is an option, the function has not evolved well. **In previous versions, the portion of the image outside of the wrap points was not visible.**This is a function I use daily and will have to find an alternative now.
In addition to JimenezOlga's answer the cropping function in Pub 2013 has evolved.

BRILLIANT SOLUTION, REWind562! You've completely solved this problem. Your step by step method works just perfectly. (Although I didn't find freehand tool in publisher 2013, Scribble worked great.) Saves me a lot of time I was spending photoshopping photos to fit. Super great job! You've helped EVERYONE with this problem in Publisher 2013. Can't thank you enough!
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! :-)
Really glad I figured it out and if it helps at least one person...then YIPPEE!!
BTW-I meant Freeform not Freehand. You are right there is no such tool as freehand...
Happy Designing!!!
Thanks again so much REWind562! EVERYONE struggling with this feature and having this issue with edit wrap points on this entire thread owes you a debt of gratitude! You solved the problem altogether! To have this function back is just fantastic! (I had to refresh my memory on tools so looked this up. It was a little helpful: https://support.office.com/en-us/Article/Draw-or-delete-a-line-connector-or-freeform-shape-f26ffb8f-a69c-46a6-8db7-7c9e5071f340.) But again, yours is the solution everyone was seeking to the "edit wrap points" problem!!!! Many thanks for your great work! Best regards, :D Daisy Crow
