In the unregistered version you can copy the created tiles; in the light ($12) version you can save them in native format; and in the full version ($30) version you can save animated tile sequences as the background of the page. More warpers are available in the full version. One negative aspect of BackgroundWarper involves an annoying registration reminder that keeps popping up when you try to open samples.
