Problem Description
The middle is the default UI texture. Because Unity checks SRBG and does not process the Alpha channel, the texture Alpha and PS display may be inconsistent in linear space.
Solution:
Add the calculation of alpha channel Gamma color space to Linner space in UIShader.

Go find the shader source code of UI/Defailt and find your own version of Shader, address:

Add GammaToLinearSpace conversion and add three sentences

After adding GammaToLinner calculation, the effect of Alpha in Linnner space is consistent with Unity Gamma space
