Let me echo the suggestion that you just use the crop tool. Let me add
though that two of the boxes at opposite corners move the box and the
other two at the other two opposite corners can be used to change its
size. The corners for moving the box are marked with a + when you
click on them. As the other fellow said, just play with it a bit, and you will
see what to do. It is not very hard.
Let me also add that you may want to use the rulers and guides to choose
the box size first. The crop boundaries will snap to them, but you can
move the box afterwards or resize it if need be.
