: How can I create fruit's texture? I'm looking to create fruit's texture, specifically a lemon's, in the form of a textured image that is otherwise transparent. This is because I want to be

I was wondering if you could put the texture on a layer above the object and set the blend mode of the texture layer to overlay or to soft light.
Does that do what you were trying to do?

This answer maybe isn't the best one, but you can try the following steps:


Go to channels tab
Ctrl+click, the channel layer thumb that best represents the texture and Ctrl+C it
Go back to layers and Deselect (if selected)
make a new layer and Paste (Ctrl+V)


This new layer is what you look for. It's a semi transperent texture that you can overlay on a solid color. Some adjustments may be needed depending on what you look for. Maybe increase the contrast and so on.

Here is what my test looks like, but I copied all 3 channels and then merged them:

What I think you are trying to say is you want a lemon texture over an image.
To do this, I would do this:


Create a fully colored lemon (or just use an image)
Go to Image > Adjustments > Desaturate Image
Go to Edit > Define Pattern
Create a Blank New Layer above the Image you want to place the texture
Go to Edit > Fill (Make Sure under Blending, Mode is set to Normal, and Opacity is set to 100%
Click OK
Set the layer's Blend Mode to Overlay


Did this work?

EDIT: Ok, now I see what you what you want.


Create a Transparent Layer in Photoshop
Paste your image
Go to Image > Adjustments > Desaturate Image
Change Opacity to about 50%
Go to File > Save As
Set format to PNG (or another transparent format)
Click Save
