In my "Teardrop Prism" image, I needed to do exactly this.  The way I did it
was to render the scene twice.  The first rendering had all textures 5 times
brighter than normal.  The photon data was saved using the "save_data"
setting.  The second rendering had the textures at normal brightness, but
loaded the photon data from the brighter rendering.
