    The image of the Sun I get from a solar telescope is sun disc,
    so solar hemisphere is projected to 2D sun disc.
    \
    I would like to reverse the projecting, taking sun disc as an input

    and spherical hemisphere image as an output, to calculate number of sunspots in spherical geometry.

    If you know tools reversing
    spherical hemisphere to sun disc projection
    just let me know or suggest something.

    Is Gimp ok ?

    I've tried Gimp in the past, but found it difficult to use. Photoshop
    might do what you're looking for. Google something like "Photoshop
    polar to rectangular" or similar. Not exactly sure what you're asking,
    but the aforementioned might give you a good start. I believe Photoshop
    still has a demo period for like 7 days and it is fully functional for
    that time. Don't know though, I have been using Affinity Photo for
    years. Affinity Photo can do the polar to rectangular conversions too,
    but never tried it.
