Hi guys,
I found that after invoking save_image(input_tensor), the input_tensor is normalized to [0, 255]. Was it designed this way? it might not be appropriate for this function to modify input in-place.
Did anyone have the same problem?
The source code indicates that a view of input tensor was modified in-place.
def make_grid(tensor, nrow=8, padding=2,
              normalize=False, range=None, scale_each=False, pad_value=0):
    """Make a grid of images.

    Args:
        tensor (Tensor or list): 4D mini-batch Tensor of shape (B x C x H x W)
            or a list of images all of the same size.
        nrow (int, optional): Number of images displayed in each row of the grid.
            The Final grid size is (B / nrow, nrow). Default is 8.
        padding (int, optional): amount of padding. Default is 2.
        normalize (bool, optional): If True, shift the image to the range (0, 1),
            by subtracting the minimum and dividing by the maximum pixel value.
        range (tuple, optional): tuple (min, max) where min and max are numbers,
            then these numbers are used to normalize the image. By default, min and max
            are computed from the tensor.
        scale_each (bool, optional): If True, scale each image in the batch of
            images separately rather than the (min, max) over all images.
        pad_value (float, optional): Value for the padded pixels.
