It took me longer than expected, because I had to code-up some javascript to efficiently generate the large number of variants; in Photoshop there is no all-at-once way to extract or save an individual color channel as monochrome for 24 layers X 5 variants each (120 variants!).
This page looks at noise from ISO 64 to ISO 50000 at Leica M11 60MP full resolution (L-DNG).
ISOS 64, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, 12500, 25000, 50000 are shown with two crops each, both with and without chroma noise reduction.

Additionally, the separate red/green/blue color channels are also shown, again with and without chroma noise reduction. It’s important to see how good the individual channels are looking, especially for those looking to do high-ISO monochrome conversions.
Up next is comparing 60MP L-DNG to 36MP M-DNG to 18MP S-DNG.
