For less then 100 pound you can get a calibration device so there is little reason not to buy one if you do photography.
@James, I wanted to have a Colormunki but found out it didn't work on my CRT screen
I think I will simply out source the bigger or important prints...

You get a lot more DOF (more than twice) with a 50mm f/1.4 or even a f/1.2 lenses than with a 85mm f/1.4
So the wider the angle you can use the better in your case.
I think your best bet is to go for a 50mm lens.

You should be able to do the same in the darkroom most likely but I've never worked in one so can't say for sure.
As if you want to do this on a digital camera, then yes you can but it's far easier to get results at home with your computer.
What I did might be simulated in Picasa but Gimp (also free) has the same layer as I used in Photoshop.
It's called a softlight layer and it darkens or lightens a colour and you get these kind of effects, you use the opacity of the softlight layer to adjust the effect.
Here is a video that shows the effect http://vimeo.com/1411985
ps. just thought about it but a polarize filter might be able to come close to the effect.
Beside polarizing light it also removes the greyness and that's what you want.

I was trying to make it bright and vibrant without losing any important details and so by clipping the highlights I hoped to make the appearance she is in a world of her own.
Apparently it didn't work

James are you now questioning my ability to expose a photo
unedited raw version

I wanted to place more focus on the eyes and I indeed clipped the photo on purpose because I thought that would work well by making it more interesting.
ps. she was wearing a white skirt, I don't have to tell you it wasn't white when she left
