You could use a combination of both methods eg.
.crop {
width: 200px;
height: 150px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.crop img {
width: 400px;
height: 300px;
margin: -75px 0 0 -100px;
}
<div class="crop">
<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/wPh0S.jpg" alt="Donald Duck">
</div>
You can use negative margin
to move the image around within the <div/>
.
