| Apr 8, 2020 at 20:42 | comment | added | danzel | @C.S.Cameron your answer would have looked out of place at AskUbuntu either because the question is too broad and the answer is too generic. | |
| Mar 7, 2020 at 2:44 | comment | added | C.S.Cameron | @Thomas Ward : My answer to the original question posted at Superuser. As you can see it looks out of place there. superuser.com/questions/1530451/… | |
| Mar 7, 2020 at 2:41 | comment | added | C.S.Cameron | @Thomas Ward : By the same logic, if the Windows VM is inside Ubuntu VirtualBox then that is a Ubuntu-environment question. Photoshop only runs faster because Windows VM runs faster. | |
| Mar 6, 2020 at 14:51 | comment | added | Thomas Ward Mod | If Photoshop is inside the Windows VM, then, that is a Windows-environment question. Tweaks to the hardware or Ubuntu are on topic but not in the context of a Photoshop-inside-Windows-VM scope. | |
| Mar 6, 2020 at 2:17 | comment | added | C.S.Cameron | @Thomas Ward : I don't think you understand what I wrote. You can not tweak Windows, the Guest OS, in VBox to make it run Faster. Any tweak to make Photoshop run faster must be made to Photoshop, VBox, Ubuntu or the Computer Hardware, not to Windows, There is no secret Run Faster button in Windows. If you now how to Tweak the Windows OS to make it run faster, please give us an example. Millions of people would be thrilled. The only tweak I know is to just install one program in Windows. | |
| Mar 5, 2020 at 14:09 | comment | added | Thomas Ward Mod | @C.S.Cameron except that any tweaks inside the Guest OS in VBox (Photoshop or otherwise) at that point are not on topic here because that OS is then "Windows" that PS is running on. Which makes it offtopic for here. | |
| Mar 5, 2020 at 9:37 | comment | added | C.S.Cameron | There are few or no tweaks to be made to Windows software running in VBox, that I know of to make it run faster. All tweaks to gain speed would be to Photoshop or VBox or hardware, If this is not your experience please explain. | |
| Mar 5, 2020 at 9:23 | comment | added | Rinzwind | "any tweeks are to windows software" is the correct statement. And that is off topic | |
| Mar 5, 2020 at 9:20 | comment | added | C.S.Cameron | A person basically installs Photoshop in Windows, any tweeks are to Photoshop not Windows. When running Photoshop in Windows on VBox, there may be some tweeks to Photoshop and certainly tweeks to VBox such as installing Guest additions, Extension Packs, increasing Base Memory and Video Memory, enabling copy paste, 2D and 3D acceleration, specifying graphics controller, USB controller, (USB 3) and shared folders. and whether to install as Dynamically Allocated or Fixed Size. There is not a lot you can do to tweek the Windows OS on VBox. I do concede Windows questions should be on SU. | |
