Momento photo book

[gelati]

Hi all, I'm new to this forum (discover this place when I am searching for some answers about Momento).

I am in the process of using Momento to create a coffee table book for our ceremony. I finished all the editing and formatting and uploaded the master file to the Momento server. The problem is the photos/wordings seems to look very unfocus and blurry (shadows surrounding the edges of the objects etc). I have view examples of other previews and although there are some degrees of blurriness but the issue is not as prominent in these samples.

The photos I am using are all over 2000 x 2000 jpeg files, most file size are greater than 3 mb so the photo quality shouldn't be an issue, although I did use editing tools to change some of the photos.

The master file size is around 25 mb.

Maybe someone with experience in using Momento knows whether this is just a preview issue or the quality of my book will be the same as the preview if I decide to print?

Omg... they had a baby elephant at their wedding!!! How wonderful!!! Thats almost worth marrying for...

I said almost!

And the quality looks fine here... but the link you have sent is only a very small res of the completed book..

Have you tried emailing Momento and asking them about the compression you are seeing?.. And not that I am knocking Momento but there are also other photobook companies out there that do a higher quality job than momento which you may decide to look into..

Oh... and welcome to the forum!

After pressing the submit button I received a reply from Momento tech support . The answer is the preview is a low resolution file and the actual book should be better quality unless I had quality warnings while formatting and ignore them.

Oh Bindi do you mind listing those companies here or pm me? Thanks!

I thought it might have been that.. glad you got it sorted..

and this is my favourite company that does this type of thing... the quality is just superb!

Hi Bindi

Thank you for the recommendation. Unforunately I am not in the business (but hope I can do this part time one day!). When I do I'll certainly try this company.

Right now I'll get my book from Momento and see how it turns out.

Hi, and welcome.

We have had other members using Momento, and I believe all with very good outcomes.

Try using the search facility here, and seeing if it's able to dig out some of the earlier threads on them.

Cheerz.

Hi gelati,

<Semi hijak of thread>

You mentioned you can't use Asuka but in case anyone else does you should only look at and download stuff from http://www.asuka.com.au (the australian site) I was adviswed not to use the templates form the US site as they may differ.

Bindii - do you actually use the US guys or do you deal with Lyndsay?

Cheers,

Hi gstark

Thank you for your welcome. I promise I did a search beforehand and read all the comments about Momento before posting a new topic.

You just need an ABN within the photography field. Not really that hard to get since it does not cost you anything to setup an ABN!!!
