5 months ago I believe this may be a limitation of the bloom post-processing itself.
The amount of blooming is proportional to the mirror's resolution as seen above.
But a secondary hypothesis I have is that mirrors are not excluded from the post-processing pass- so anything that is already blooming has that bloom applied for a second time because the mirror is a separate 'object' in the world.
Fixing this would probably require having a separate rendering layer/pass that occurs after post-processing is done for certain elements, e.g. UI elements like the context menu #59.
Seeking thoughts from @Frooxius and @Geenz.

Describe the bug?
The mirror reflections of items using PBS_ColorSplatMetallic have brighter colors (more bloom) than the items themselves. This occurs when using bright albedo colors on the material and the item is facing the sun.
To Reproduce
Expected behavior
I expected the brightness of the item and its reflection to be the same.

Additional Context
Originally discovered this quirk with my avatar, which occasionally shows as unexpectedly bright on mirrors.
I tried messing with the lighting and shadow settings in the Resonite Essentials mirror and it appeared to have no effect on this.
