"Reverse engineering" an image is a bunch of nonsense. Oh, I suppose
it's a useful term to describe the process of figuring out how an image
is made. But unlike reverse engineering, say, a file format, to support
it in your app, or even a piece of hardware, to make another that
functions similarly, reverse engineering an image to make a copy of it
is still pretty much stealing. At any rate, if your copy is sufficiently
close, you can still be sued for copyright violation. The fact that you
may not have e.g. digitally copied the pixel data is irrelevant.
