RealESRGAN_x8.pth creating issue

[Alex Romashko]

I tried to test RealESRGAN_x8.pth model via your colab notebook. Got an error-

RuntimeError Traceback (most recent call last)
in ()

10 model = RealESRGAN(device, scale=4)
---> 11 model.load_weights('weights/RealESRGAN_x8.pth')

Hi,
Change scale parameter to 8 when creating the model in the line above. It should be:
model = RealESRGAN(device, scale=8)

Closed, working with model = RealESRGAN(device, scale=8) params
