Masking in Designer feels very unintuitive!

I dropped an image into a document, and the way I found to create a mask from a curve on that image was to place the curve above it and use "mask to below". But the result of that is that the curve is a child to the image, and not the other way around which feels more logical.

Further, I have no idea how to move the image without moving the mask. How can one do that?

Ah, just found the answer by accident... it's apparently "lock children", an option which appears when you click on the masked image. Still feels very backwards!

Also, adding to the unintuitive behavior, the transform rectangle is only sized to the original clipped area, not the actual image size, so moving it around is done blindly when it comes to finding the image boundaries...
