It is rather unintuitive, but here's how its done:

Place the cursor (insertion mark) directly after the image and hit  
[backspace]. You should now see the following:

<postscript|<raw-data>|*5/8|*5/8|l||>

The two *5/8 are the scaling factors used in the horisontal and  
vertical directions. The syntax of the poscript primitive is:

<postscript|image-data|with|height|left-clipping|bottom-clipping|right- 
clipping|top-clipping>.

So if you want to make your image half size and cut 1cm of the bottom,  
you would use:

<postscript|data|*4/8|*4/8||1cm||>

or if you would like an image 5 * 7.5 cm you would use:

<postscript|data|5cm|7.5||1cm||>

Clippingvalues may be negative so you can add whitespace around images.  
You may use inches (in) instead of centimeters (cm). To see the result  
press [return] while the cursor is inside the < >'s. There is not  
(yet?) a way to do this grapically with the mouse.
