Going to build a small resource library of articles, links.. on the subject; "Chrominance vs Luminance image noise" in this discussion thread.
'Cause..
I've noticed some struggling with these issues.
How Chrominance and Luminance image noise is effected/affected by post-processing/editing/software.. is the operative question;
"The relative amount of chroma and luminance noise can vary significantly from one camera model to another. Noise reduction software can be used to selectively reduce both chroma and luminance noise, however complete elimination of luminance noise can result in unnatural or "plasticy" looking images."

Image Noise Examples and Characteristics
Feel free to add to the thread.. I insist.
