@NicolasHug opinion on whether we even want to mention that?

I'm OK with it. It is slightly more accurate than what we previously had, even though arguably it doesn't provide a ton of info right away, since readers would need to know the details of each PIL mode to understand what's happening. Perhaps we can add that info next to each mode below, e.g.

- If the input has 3 channels, the ``mode`` is assumed to be ``RGB`` (uint8 values in [0, 255])

etc.

@NicolasHug @pmeier All the modes are not mentioned explicitly in the docs. PIL.Image mode is referred to that in the docs. So won't it be better if we just write this?

Converts a torch.*Tensor of shape C x H x W or a numpy ndarray of shape
H x W x C to a PIL Image while keeping the value range consistent with PIL.Image modes.

It wouldn't address that part of my comment above:

even though arguably it doesn't provide a ton of info right away, since readers would need to know the details of each PIL mode to understand what's happening

But that's OK, we can provide more detail incrementally. Let's just merge this PR the way it is right now.

@sahilg06 do you mind reverting the changes made in https://github.com/pytorch/vision/pull/7679/files#r1234422939 so we can merge it? Thanks!

Args:
mode (`PIL.Image mode`_): color space and pixel depth of input data (optional).
If ``mode`` is ``None`` (default) there are some assumptions made about the input data:

- If the input has 4 channels, the ``mode`` is assumed to be ``RGBA``.
- If the input has 3 channels, the ``mode`` is assumed to be ``RGB``.
- If the input has 2 channels, the ``mode`` is assumed to be ``LA``.
- If the input has 1 channel, the ``mode`` is determined by the data type (i.e ``int``, ``float``,
``short``).
- If the input has 1 channel, the ``mode`` is determined by the data type (i.e ``int``, ``float``, ``short``).
