Many PS plugins, but not all, are compatible. I have successfully used Topaz plugins with Designer Pro. Primarily Adjust, Detail and DeNoise. I used InFocus some, although I usually did better with Akvis when it came to focus.

The Topaz plugins worked very well in XDP's Live Effects tool. The Akvis plugins had a tendency to hang the Live Effects window, so I used those standalone.
