I have Color Computereyes.  Color Computereyes, by itself, can
digitize a color composite video signal and save it as a Degas,
Neochrome or raw data image.  Since no tools that I know of can
process the raw data image, we can ignore that.  Any number of drawing
programs for the ST can read Degas and Neochrome images, so you can
use any of them to "touch up" Computereyes images.

If you purchase Digispec in addition to Color Computereyes, you can
have your digitized images rendered as Spectrum (512 colors per
picture, 48 colors per line) images.  If you also purchase the
Spectrum 512 program from Antic Publishing, you can touch up your 512
color Spectrum digitized pictures.

From personal experience let me say that Color Computereyes + Digispec
+ Spectrum 512 is a powerful combination.

In fairness, I should point out that there are other digitizers for
the ST which may have advantages over Computereyes, but since I don't
have them I can't really comment on them.

And, lastly, let me state that I have no financial stake in either the
makers of Computereyes, Trio Engineering (makers of Digispec), nor
Antic Publishing (publishers of Spectrum 512).

Longish .signature follows.  Skip now, or don't complain.
