http://www.myphotoshoptutorial.com/photoshop_tutorials/2008/6/24/perspective-crop.html ( removed, it's a Chinese casino now) This might help you to fix distortion if you use a slight angle (and Adobe Photoshop). I personally do not use flash, you can try using light sources or taking pictures in broad daylight, outside. Like on your balcony or in the garden etc.

i have an adjustable table that is sort of used as an easele for when i do my paintings. there is a lip so i stand them up on that. my camera is older and only good in the daylight without flash so i have to take them outside or inside my sliding doors that go out. also you could take them out of the bags if they are in, i had to do that with some. i used to scan them in 2 parts and put them together in photoshop but stoped back in the day when i bought a digital camera

TOTAL RECALL (1990) THX Laserdisc cover front and back. I need to get a tripod so the camera is centred on the Laserdisc cover and the light needs to be uniform so I don't get any light glare reflections on on the edges of the cover other than the artwork of the cover and that the camera settings are correct so it doesn't make any whites appear over-bright. I took this in the kitchen a few minutes ago, stood on top of the fridge/freezer and later cropped off the sides but the cover or camera wasn't 100 centred where it should be. The glare on the top edge was the camera angle the fluorescent kitchen light is behind where the picture was taken, about 3 feet behind on the ceiling, well where else would it be? Or maybe some what do you call them for photography they look like silver umbrellas. Maybe one of them might help for my indoor picture taking? Again lower text on the THX logo is not quiet readable due to the angle I had the camera. Picture was taken about 1 or so foot away. The black text on lower part of the cover is not quiet readable due to the slight upward tilt angle of the camera.

The key is daylight, because even if your hands are shaking a mid-range camera will capture it without any blur. And I'd recommend removing the shrink wrap if possible. I have taken a few cover pictures that have been updated & use the method as above. I only have a pretty basic camera but it does the job. As above post Julien has put on what appears to be a great way of doing things but I am so computer illiterate I can't do that . .
