Since the detail is more in the luminance, and chromatic noise is
usually much more objectionable, a good noise reduction tool should
have the option of reducing chromatic noise and luminance noise to
different degrees.

Paint Shop Pro doesn't have exactly that, but it does have different
degrees of correction for what it describes as small, medium and large
noise, which refer to different spatial frequencies. It also allows for a
variable amount of blend of the correction, and a variable amount of
sharpening afterwards. For a low-cost program - most versatile.
