Dave: it is possible to put many things in the Clipboard in/at the same time (images, text, etc.) when running on OS X. On Windows, I do not know. If someone knows (yes, you YOU!), please advice.
OS X:
How do you get information about what you have in the Clipboard:
a. Run AppleScript Editor
b. Copy / Paste:
return clipboard info
c. Copy an image from Preview (load an image in Preview, then )
d. Run the AppleScript and you may get:
{{TIFF picture, 2188610}, {«class 8BPS», 1431838}, {«class BMP », 2181494}, {«class TPIC», 823236}, {«class PNGf», 284800}, {«class jp2 », 116172}, {GIF picture, 116104}, {JPEG picture, 355613}}How may times the same image in the Clipboard at that moment ?
In one of my projects, I store a default name (TEXT) for the resized image (Picture) IN THE SAME CLIPBOARD.

BTW: I just learn something reading that page !
Ask if this is not really clear.
