| CYMB may be Cyan Yellow Magenta Black abreviation if it's about color
images, color publishing or typesetting systems. Once an image has to
be printed the CYMB representation is prefered (from far) to RGB, in
order to have a better black (and it's also cheaper when printing only
black and white). You can generate CYMB from RGB the black value beeing
computed in different ways from the RGB values.
I suppose you are familiar about RGB (Red Green Blue representation of
colors).
Speaking about images, DSP may be some particular image file type
(like PICT is for MacPaint ??). But I don't know more about DSP.
Now, going back to CYMB and speaking about the new Mac image
capabilities, it's interesting to observe that by using 32 bit words
for 3x8 bit (24 bits total) RGB representation, they still have 8 bits
within the words for a 4th component. So they can manipulate eventually
CYMB images for electronic publishing applications.
