The 6th generation of this product, includes a lot of major enhancements such as flash uploader, ajax style management, 4 new presentations, Geotag & Google Maps support ...
An important difference between version 5 and version 6 is, in UMG 5, we sell 9 additional presentations in a bundled offer called “Generic Presentation Pack”, which is an add-on that requires you to install separately, in UMG 6, we no longer offer Generic Presentation Pack, instead there are 2 editions of UMG: Standard Edition and Professional Edition, the professional edition includes all extra presentations while the standard edition includes UMG Classic, Headline and SmoothGallery.
