You could just create a new layer above the image layer and fill this layer with 50% gray and set the blend mode to screen
Shift + Backspace will bring up the Fill Dialog, select 50% Grey from the Contents

Forgot the mention you may need to lower the Opacity of this layer to about 60% to get the desired effect

The original name of this effect was "halation". It was a common problem in film days, and caused highlights to spread into the darker areas, forming what was often called "halos". These days, I usually just call it "highlight spreading".

Because this effect lowered the contrast of the film by raising the black level in areas near bright lights, it was rarely desired, and this prompted film manufacturers to incorporate anti-halation layers into film stock. It is related to a similar effect called photometric burnout (click on the link and either search for this term on the page or scroll down about 80% of the page).

The original effect is not accurately simulated by a simple overall brightening or raising of the darker tones because in halation, the spillover only occurs in proximity to bright areas. One easy way to simulate it a bit more accurately is to make a copy of the image, blur it (...in this case by 50-100 px), set the layer blending mode to lighten or screen, and adjust opacity and the BlendIF sliders to taste. Here is a quick and dirty example of this approach.

HTH,
