A plug-in for making highlights more natural - controlling the flare of the white light?

Back in FCP7 days there was a lovely 3rd party plug-in, mmm, might have even made it to FCPX. I forget who created it, but I think he moved on to other things.

It was a filter that allowed one to control the 'whites' in an image, to brighten or whiten them more, to flare or mist them a bit (to make the SD/HDV video look less 'video' and more 'cinematic'. A beautiful tool. It's sort of like the current 'Bloom' .. but without abberrating all the other colours.

Wondering if anyone has seen a plug-in like that?

All ears, Ben
