Methods, systems and apparatus for video processing including coding or decoding are described. One example method of video processing includes determining, for a conversion between a video region of a chroma component of a video and a bitstream of the video, a manner of applying a cross-component adaptive loop filtering (CC-ALF) operation to a first sample of the chroma component based on a position of a second sample associated with the first sample. The method also includes performing the conversion based on the determining.
