I'm trying to train pcam dataset in vcc 16 model, but I keep getting this error:

RuntimeError: Given groups=1, weight of size [96, 3, 3, 3], expected 
input[256, 96, 3, 96] to have 3 channels, but got 96 channels instead.

I tried to change the amount of in channels into 3 to 96 becuase error messeage and chat gpt said that he number of channels in the input image had to be equal to the number of channels in the convolution layer, but it doesn't work.
