I have been recommended by several people to invest in this Dfine software as a means of noise reduction, but am struggling to find a place where I can purchase just this software, as opposed to the entire NIK bundle which is £90. Apart from that is here:

But does this seem genuine? I am not sure, the price is certainly good but I always sceptical when prices are this low!

I've not used it a great deal to be honest, do mine in Lightroom. You get two actually, import sharpening and export sharpening (or something like that).
 
Define is pretty good, a bit more subtle than some alternatives - I haven't used the sharpening plugins much, I've had variable results with them, but the rest of the package is very good.
It's only available as a complete package now through Google :)
 
The website in the original post has no contact details, usually the first indication of a scam.
 
Have a look for discount codes. I got 15% off my purchase of the complete package last month. I have seen one code cdodds you could try this one.
 
90£ for some preset seems like a lot of money to me.
Specialy for something which as a GOOGLE badge on it!

It must be really worthwhile then...
 
Google bought them out - hence the Goole label, and it's a lot more than just presets.
They're full plugins, and some parts can be run independently of any other software.

Silver Efex in particular is fantastic B&W conversion tool. Both that, and Colour Efex are very user friendly. You can start with a range of presets in various styles, but you have full control over all the tweaks being made so you can then tweak further any which way you want.

There's usually discount codes available - 15% off is pretty standard.
 
I know that there is a 15% discount off the Nik suite bringing it down to approx £75. A bargain I would say:)
 
Do a search for NIK discount codes.
There are lots of sites offering discount codes but they are often out of date, so you may need to try a few before you find one that works.
With a 15% discount the price is around £90,
Unfortunately the $ - £ exchange rate is not very favourable at the moment.

Doh! - Edit, I should have said without the 15% discount the price ($149) is around £90,
15% discount brings the price down to $126, which is about £77.

Thank you - will probably get the whole bundle then! What is the sharpening tool like?

You get two options raw sharpening which I don't use preferring to do that in LR and output sharpening which I do use as I find this very effective when doing prints A3 and up.
