"LILYsoft IC" is also a good search term. It's primarily an image 
viewer/converter (and a very good one at that), but also has some 
post-processing essentials built in, including a bloom effect (as an 
option of the "gaussian blur" filter).

It's also noteworthy for being developed by POV-Ray community member Ive.
