there is a function on freehand mx where you can caopy and paste an image into another image. For example you can paste an image of a face into a picture ot a letter box so you can only see the part of the face that would show through the letter box. Its really useful and I was wondering if there was a similar option in illustrator

Oh... Yes. Place the image underneath the shape (or whatever) you want to use to crop it, select the image and the shape together, then go to object>clipping mask>make.
