hi @11923303233 would you mind providing the config file you used?

I used configs/real_esrgan/realesrnet_c64b23g32_4xb12-lr2e-4-1000k_df2k-ost.py

train_cfg is IterBasedTrainLoop;
val_cfg is MultiValLoop

hi @11923303233
According to your provided config file, I think you are using BasicVisualizationHook to save images during validation, https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmagic/blob/main/configs/real_esrgan/realesrnet_c64b23g32_4xb12-lr2e-4-1000k_df2k-ost.py#L257C16-L257C38
You can check more details about BasicVisualizationHook in our API documents https://mmagic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/autoapi/mmagic/engine/hooks/index.html#mmagic.engine.hooks.BasicVisualizationHook

To disable saving images during validation, you have several solutions,

1. directly remove BasicVisualizationHook from your config, then you will not save images during both validation and test.
2. disable saving images by setting augments as dict(type='BasicVisualizationHook', interval=1, on_val=False)
3. If you still want to save images during validation but with relatively fewer results, you can set the value of interval as dict(type='BasicVisualizationHook', interval=100)

Trank you for your answer! Previously, I only paid attention to other modules, not to BasicVisualizationHook
