In general the clipboard will only hold one 'copy' operation at a time so the item/data will remain in the clipboard until you either a) perform another copy operation (at which point it is replaced in the clipboard by the new data), or until you log out (the clipboard is cleared), or c) you shutdown (again, the clipboard is cleared).
The clipboard is only a 'virtual' thing though, it doesn't really exist - this means that you only really
generally have access to it through the copy/paste functionality. The storage of the data from the clipboard in the memory or on the disk is fairly temporary, and your Operating System will seek to re-use the storage area at some stage.

Ok, if it's been copied then it will be currently being held temporarily in your Operating System (probably in the memory, but possibly on the hard drive). You will only have access to it through the copy/paste functionality, in order to get access to the image that you've copied you will need to paste it into a document/file of an appropriate type.
