Ok then but it there a way to make sure the different transform tools do not degrade the drawings when warped or resized ? Vectors are great for that, is there way to improve the code for these tools without shifting to vectors, then ?

Common use in studios is a lot of copy/paste and rescaling drawings as a mean to save time. I keep hearing CU artists complain about having to retrace these drawings. It's a big, big problem as the demands for productivity keep rising.

We'd interested for sure to know more about the current uses, in the anime industry. Sadly many studios protect their workflow(s) like industrial secrets (and we can't blame them for that!).

Je pourrais arranger une visite au studio où je travaille. Envoyez moi un MP.
