No. You are only granted a license to use the work non-commercially.  
Creating a derivative and then selling it would be commercial use, so  
it is not allowed.

Yyou cannot use the un-altered image commercially either. So assuming  
this is related to your software, if you NC your work no-one will be  
able to use it for their business or for anything that makes money  
(unless they are a charity), assuming current understanding of NC is  
correct.

I am not a lawyer, I am not CC.
