I need an AppleScript Application to do the following...

Anytime I hit Command-C and copy an *IMAGE* to the Clipboard, my AppleScript Application detects the Clipboard contents have changed, and saves the current Clipboard image contents of a file called Clipboard.jpg, overwriting whatever might have previously been in that file.

Another option would be that this AppleScript could be triggered by a Function Key.  So, for example, I could type Command-C to copy the image, then press F1 and the AppleScript would then automatically save the Clipboard image to Clipboard.jpg.

Any suggestions?

Screenshot to clipboard

A screenshot takes a picture of your screen or of a selected area. There are various ways to take screenshots in OS X. The screenshot however is usually saved as a TIFF file on the desktop. However, by pressing Control-Command-Shift-3 (or 4), the screenshot is copied into your Clipboard memory, and you can paste it wherever you want.
