I believe/hope that her scans are 16 bit and at least aRGB, as she is doing
some extreme color editing on some of them.
With the proper conversion settings in PS, it will convert to 8 bit and sRGB
for the web without losing any bits, only
pulling them into the target color space. Better to do this at the end. Doing
it in the scan has the same possibilities
of loss, and limits what may be done in post.

This used to be a problem. I had particular trouble with some bright oranges.
They looked good in Safari, which was
color profile aware, but I couldn't get them to look right in IE or Firefox,
whether posted in sRGB or aRGB.
For some years now, all the major browsers have recognized and properly display
aRGB.
