Copy & Paste involves negotiation
When you do a Copy operation, the app that you are copying from communicates with the OS X clipboard and tells it what type of data is being copied. It does not necessarily transfer any data to the clipboard - it is possible for apps to say something like "I've got an image here and I'll give it to you when a Paste operation is done." This allows the app to modify the format of data that is transferred according to what format best suits the destination of the Paste operation. The source application can indicate that it has various types of data available. It is up to the destination application to choose which of the data it wants.
