Okay. Try pasting the pic into a word processing document or e-mail message, or something like that. (Ctrl or Cmd and v). Even better, paste it into some picture software if you have it.
One thing though - the contents of the so-called clipboard are overwritten every time you copy something else to it. So if you took your snapshot, and then copied some text...

Um, there's nothing to see. The clipboard is a virtual place for copying and/or pasting text or images. You never see the clipboard itself - it's just a name for a bit of short-term memory.
An example: if you see some text on a webpage that you want to use for something else - say a blog - and you don't want to type it out yourself again, then use the clipboard. Simply highlight the text and press 'ctrl' and 'c' together (or 'cmd' and 'c' if you're using a Mac). This copies the text onto a virtual clipboard. Then, to use the text in another document, just set your cursor to where you want the text to appear. Then press 'ctrl' and 'v' together (or 'cmd' and 'v' for Macs). This will 'paste' text from your clipboard into where you put the cursor.
The same technique works for pictures, as well as sound and video in appropriate software.

A really useful program for extending and using the contents of the clipboard is ClipX http://clipx.en.softonic.com
