YASCU (Yet Another Screen Capture Utility) is a new tool on the block in a very crowded genre. At first glance, it may appear to be the same as many other similar applications, but it has been uniquely designed to function as a simple but useful, multi-purpose business tool. After developing this tool for internal purposes in 2008, it is now being made available to everyone in a tiny 100K efficiency stimulus package.

The design strategy for this application was to optimize it for size, speed and simplicity without compromising usability and functionality. The resulting tool not only strikes this delicate balance, but executes and achieves the following three main design objectives:

-Capture and save images automatically and efficiently.
-Present and preview by navigating captured images quickly.
-Ilustrate seamlessly to facilitate interaction during presentations.

Any functionality that would add unnecessary overhead, or introduce heavy external dependencies to the core application, was excluded or deferred to an external application, or future add-ons. As a result, some design tradeoffs were made, such as only supporting the JPEG image format. The end result is a lean green screen capture machine.
