denoise strength in realesr-general-x4v3 model

[Selur]

That is strange since it seems to work here and I last update the torchAddon on 01.01.
Checked the source code RealESRGAN code wasn't changed on 2022-12-17.

Are you using the FilterQueue?
I noticed a bug regarding the FilterQueue and the resizers, but I haven't had time to look into it. (maybe tomorrow)
Checked the FilterQueue bug, there RealCUGAN and RealESRGAN were accidentally swapped, but the denoise level worked fine.

=> try resetting your default values and if you use a saved profile, load check and resave it. RealESRGAN model=5 works fine here.
