The preliminary results don't look very promising. I tried remapping the 
color values to create a new range of intensity. When the colors are 
remapped 0 - 1, the result in luminous bloom is exactly the same as if a 
.png or .tga image had been used. When remapped 0 - 2 or greater, the 
shadows become too light, changing the light level for the entire image.

I think your best bet, if you plan to use luminous bloom, would be to 
render your scenes with reasonably low light_source intensities, or just 
use pngs or tgas.

Now, about that bad line of pixels around the edge. It's definitely a 
problem with POV-Ray. It exists whether the "once" keyword was used or 
not, and always when repeat/flip warps are used. To alter my code to fix 
the problem is not really a good solution, as there is a possibility 
that the render times will rise significantly. I'll try posting a bug 
report, and hopefully it will be fixed soon. For now, maybe you can just 
remove the outer layer of pixels?
