black selection (ie logo) always changes to cmyk when placed in new photoshop document

Is there a way to place a 100% black object from another Photoshop File or Illustrator file into a new Photoshop file and have it maintain 100% black instead of converting to percents of cmyk?

Place it into a black and white document instead of CMYK, or use a CMYK profile with maximum black generation.
#2
Or paste in on the black channel (if it's a CMYK document).
#3
Or use Calculations. Or copy/paste your black object into only the Black channel.

[You may need to fill the selected shape with white in the other three channels to ensure that you have a knock-out black.]

Sounds like the color spaces are different.
