M.G.T Raster Buster by Megatonn/BRONX (1991) is a tool to aid in the creation of raster bar graphics for things like demos, intros and scrollers.

Don't know much about this program, or even where I came across it, but it is super cool, especially if you're a Matrix fan.  This is basically a screen saver that you can call with SYS49152 that emulates the random raining text.  Should be pretty easy to incorporate into any application.

Matte Editor released in 1985 by Kevin Pickell is a screen/character editor that was part of the Total Software Development System.

Picture Maker v1.0 by Robin Hood / ARM is a tool for taking a Koala pict and adding an out-of-the-border message. More details built into the program - see the pictures.

Shake Converter v1 by Sting of Paramount - Released in 1991.  There are some built-in instructions but they aren't 100% clear, at least not to me.  My best guess is that this program grabs some type of hires graphic and bounces it back and forth on the screen.  I'm sure it's more involved than that but didn't find it interesting enough to dive deeper into.

This is the software for the Video Byte II cartridge. The Video Byte II plugs into the User Port, and allows the C64 to digitize black-and-white still frames from a composite input connection.

Here's a link to a forum thread about the Video Byte II.  Additionally, here is a blog post called "Take A Byte" pulled from archive.org (scroll down the page a bit to find the post) that talks more about this hardware.
