I did it a few times:

1. you need to convert your image from RVB to CMYK ;

2. very often, "they lose a lot of brilliance and saturation": I know this :-(
Only Photoshop (or a similar) can correct this. But it's not easy if you are not
familiar with these softwares.

When I convert my POV images to CMYK, they always lose a lot of brilliance and
saturation.
