Horizontal gradient over image in Unity?

Question

I'm trying to have the sides of an image fade to black, but I can't find a good way to do this manually or in any way other than with a shader graph. I'm looking to apply an effect like this:

to an existing image, but the gradient in the shader graph applies the same color to the whole texture. I'm very new to shaders, so any help would be great. Thanks!

Answer 1

Using Shader Graph you create a gradient example then you add a Texture2D input, use a Texture 2D sampler node and finally combine them with a multiply node.
