Sorry for not correctly quoting the previous posts 😞

Yes, each job have different situations. There are times when it even happens with a pattern (for example on a wrapping paper for shops), in those cases the multiplication of nodes is even a bigger problem, whereas a linked 1bit image is not. I also remember streamline, at that time it was fine In our case we work with cs6, and we stay in Mojave to avoid making monthly payments. That prevents us from updating equipment and that is the reason why the Affinity proposal seduced us. There will be no more new computers that can run Mojave natively.

A complex image, such as an old-style pen illustration when vectorized, can not only have inaccuracies but also generate a multitude of nodes. For Illustrator or InDesign, depending on the illustration, it is lighter to move a lineart at 1200 dpi than the same vectorized image. For example, it also happens with works in which a lettering with rough contours is digitized, its vectorized version contains many nodes. Obviously it can be simplified and fine tuned, but it is a job that you save if you simply scan it or it already arrives as a 1bit image.

In the study we bought 4 licenses of AD, APu and APh some time ago. We work in packaging design and for us it is important to be able to work with images of 1bit at 1200dpi that we can color with pantone in AD or APu. Has no sense: a) Use 8-bit images at 1200dpi as if they were 1bit (An 8-bit image occupies 8 times what a 1-bit one and has no transparent background). b) vectorize complex images For now, unfortunately, we will leave those licenses in the drawer
