French term or phrase: table de manipulation
This is in the context of distortion correction for a fish-eye lens.
La qualité du redressement peut être constatée par la linéarité de l'alignement des points de la table de manipulation.

light table


Explanation:
I am wondering if you don't make the correction of the negative by laying it over a table having a light underneath it and using the edges of the table for alignment - i have seen such tables in my local photo shop (long time ago though)
and I did use something similar to interpret spectra.

oops - i just realized i must be wrong - it seems more like a table of values for adjusting the negative
