There's no hardware acceleration in any Qubes VM, so I doubt Photoshop and
DaVinci Resolve will work. Additionally, I have no idea how this unholy mash of
Xen/Fedora/Windows would manage color, if it would be end to end, or if you can
even calibrate your display to get an accurate reproduction. No matter what,
each virtual machine is essentially using the software renderer to talk to a
fake output device, so performance is going to be very very limited and likely
very poor.
There's currently no way to do PCI passthrough of graphics card to fix this,
either, but that is an architectural and security decision and less of a
software quality issue.
Short answer: I doubt that it works now, and I also doubt that it will work any
time soon.
