A brilliant replacement for Mac OSX’s photobook software
I was looking for software to replace OSX’s built in software. After testing a number of products and cursing them ( even the one touted as having the same look and feel) I settled on Momento. Why? Sooooooo easy to use with minimal enhancement required unlike the others that produce washed out prints and are so difficult to use. Momento is incredibly intuitive to use. It is more expensive than others but I am a very keen amateur photographer, so quality and time are important to me. My books are coffee table standard thanks to Momento.

The BEST photobook printers!
I have had 2 photobooks printed by Momento and they have both been amazing. The first was photos from my wedding - these were professional shots and the book printed beautifully. Crisp and clear.
The second book was of my pregnancy and my baby's first 6 months - these were all iPhone photos so i had low expectations of the print quality but i was super happy with how they turned out!
I found the software really easy to use, and i love how it gives so many layout options, and options to add embellishments and 'themes' to the books.
Momento is not the cheapest out there - but you get what you pay for! I will never go anywhere else for photobooks!
Thank you momento!

My only choice for photobooks
I have used Momento for a decade and keep coming back for more … I am just about to start book #12! The software is so user friendly and results in quality, professional books every time.
Thanks Momento for a great product, along with your friendly and quick customer service.

Excellent product and customer service
I researched many Companies to make a very special 50th Brithday book....Momento was the only Australian company that showed professionalism all the way...
The actual product is superb, clean, bright, high quality and made with personal care (a rare thing!)...
The Customer Service is above anything I have seen with well trained staff always answering my (amateur) questions throughout the weeks, always polite and patient.
I know they are more than other cheaper alternatives but....to support Australian Local Business and have a Memory Sake to be so proud of is worth the extra cost.
My best friend (and everyone that has seen it) absolutely loved the book and I know it is a precious lifetime gift for her.

Can't go past Momento for quality
I have done a number of family biographies in recent years. Every now and again, I have looked around to see what production/printing options were available. It is possible, for example, to produce a document using Microsoft word and have it printed by local office service companies. But these books have meant a great deal to me, so I wanted to end up with a high quality, hardcover, bound book, with excellent reproduction of the photos and text. I have even consulted a professional printing house, and their advice mirrored the conclusion I had ...Read more
reached from my own research: for a very small print run, with a high quality product, you cannot go past Momento. Because my books have included a lot of text as well as a lot of photos, the preparation and alignment of the material, getting fonts and headings right etc was more demanding than your average photo book. But when you see the final product the effort is absolutely worthwhile. Momento is not the cheapest option around. I guess that is part of the price you pay for being able to deal with a company based in Australia. I place considerable value on the ability to give Momento a call and get very helpful technical advice, which I have done on numerous occasions. Similarly, it is easy to talk to Momento in the event that there is any problem with the final result. On one occasion, one of the books I received had a minor flaw in the rear cover: Momento reprinted the book, no problem. I was very impressed with the company's commitment to service and the quality of what they produce. I was not surprised to see recently that Momento had contributed to the 'Reflections' project, an ambitious effort by the Australian Institute of Professional Photography to photograph all of our living veterans of World War II. As well as being available to the Australian War Memorial in digital format, Momento has produced two beautifully presented volumes with archival quality, for the National Library of Australia to preserve a hard copy of all these portraits. Huge job, and very well done.1 comment

Great product - terrible customer service
Having now had 2 of my orders dispatched against my explicit requests not to - and therefore lost because i could not pick them up i write to warn others that although the actual product is good quality - but expensive - it is even more so when the products are deliberately delivered when they cannot b picked up. Be aware - i have lost over $500 because of this practice and there is no support provided by momento - other than have a nice weekend!

e dates. There was no safe drop - we had to leave and hope noone stole . Then after being told the 2nd order would b dispatched at the date i requested it wasnt and it was only me ringing for a third time in a week that prompted someone stopping a dispatch that i had been promised would not b sent. There was no apology and instead i was told we cannot guarantee dispatch dates - so why bother with telling customers yes things are in place to make things happen as requested. There has been no feedback from ur team that u will review this terrible process or fix for future which is why i am forced to leave what i believe was a good aus product but with processes that cannot b trusted.Similar opinion?

Local, lucious and bloody good service!
Momento never fails us in providing our couples with beautiful keepsakes of their wedding. We often will go to the team with custom requests and "out of the realm" ideas and they always try and accommodate and come up with a solution to suit our needs. We love the fact we can physically visit the factory (being local) and see the chain of production, with the faces behind who handles our images from start to finish and turns them into bespoke creations. The fact they are made here in Sydney is something we are proud to share with our clients...Read more

Perfection Every Time
I keep getting thanks by them for saying how good the product is, my answer is simple, if I wasn't I wouldn't. I remember send my first two books down... my heart was in my mouth, awaiting their return, I need now have worried they cam back exactly matching the output of my Eizo Monitor. Geoff is ethical researching better papers all the time and constantly searching for better products, to customers better results. They are expensive but once when in Sydney, Lorraine and I toured the factory and almost everything is hand done, absolutely amazing!! So my attitude is it may be more expensive, but I am helping to an Australian worker a living wage. First rate product from a first rate organisation

Quality and service
The high quality of printing offered by Momento is most important to me, and by adding excellent service to the mix, the resulting photobooks are real winners. I tried a few other providers before finding Momento and have never looked back. In addition, the product continues to improve with carefully selected new offerings. Love it!

Have been using them since 2011
The final product is very good. more than once a book of their's was on my coffee table and guest thought it was a published book. There have been issues sometimes with the software but the assistance team was quick to call back and get everything back on track. Certainly a positive experience and will use them again and again....

Can be frustrating
Having done a few Momento photobooks over several years now, I must say that while the final product with Momento is generally very satisfactory the process can be absolutely frustrating. The program has always had a tendency to close abruptly, losing what you are working on unless you are saving every few minutes (there appears to be no autosave facility). As the Help Centre via the Momento website is extremely limited (I'm not sure I have ever received any help) and the telephone advice is not available after-hours, my advice would be to compare several products before settling on Momento.

Sue N.asked
Is it possible to add a shadow on photos once placed into photobook. Maybe Im looking in wrong place but dont seem to find any information in regards to shadowing
4 answers
As far as I remember Momento does not have a "shadow" option for photos. Some of the frames (e.g. curling corners) will create a shadow. However you can use a dark or black background (drag to page and then select option to clear background - it will change to a square/rectangle which can then be edited) to create a shape a little larger than the size of the photo and then change its opacity and put the photo above that shape and then adjust the spacing to create the shadow offset you require. That will work.

Hi Malvoleo
I'm sorry this isn't working for you.
Can you tell me a little more:
- is the issue with installing packages from the Updater panel on the right side of the software?
- and what is the name of the pack that you're trying to download?

I have just restarted the Updater server. Please let me know if you still have this issue. I've just tested it and it appears ok.

Yes, it is downloading from the side panel in the software. Specifically I have been trying to download the cover background colours but I have checked and the other backgrounds, with the exception of the Texture backgrounds also will not download.
