Well, if you used a large format camera then getting the camera
parallel to the artwork is a lot easier and you wouldn't have to
use Gimp[??].

I take it Gnu doesn't have a marketing department?

Even with a P&S it isn't that hard to get the camera and A/W
parallel. Camera on a tripod, a/w on the wall, a knotted
string and 9th grade geometry will solve the problem
After it is all figured out then put spike marks on the floor
(a bit of sticky tape is usual) for the tripod legs, mark the
wall with a cross with centering marks or locations to attach
a marked card/sheet/board, and make up a string and bob for
setting the camera height.
This is the way copy photos were made in photo studios for over
a century.
