Correct answer c.pfaffenbichler

Are the objects (essentially) gradients with black that are set to the Blend Mode Screen in Illustrator by any chance? 

If so you would need to apply the same Blend Mode in Photoshop. 

 

Otherwise please provide the files or at least meaningful screenshots that include all pertinent Panels.

Are you pasting into an image set in GreyScale mode?  Switch it to RGB.

All of my image mode are RGB. I don't know why, it look like there is something missing effect in photoshop so when i try to paste some art it turn to black white.

but when i copy paste another graphic from illustrator it return good.
