Creating texture from two hemispheres

[romanvida]

Hi everybody. I am not sure this is a right place for my question, but I need a help. I have the map of one planet from one scj-fi in the form of two hemispheres. Can somebody give me advice how to create a texture from this picture. How to trasformate this projection to cylindrical projection?

In order to re-project maps, I've used

and

I'm sure there are others.
