How to crop images in V2

In Storyblok UI V1, The field-type Image (old) has the option "Force crop" to force the user to crop the image before the upload.

At the moment, Storyblok UI V2 doesn't have this option, but it's coming soon on the Image (old) and Asset field types. Meanwhile, if you need to crop an image, it's recommended to use the crop feature on the Image Editor.
