File saves as Tiff when using keyboard shortcut, not as a PSD file.

On an image sent to phtoshop via Lightrooms "Edit In" I can save it back to the original folder using Command - S keyboard shortcut and it will save in PSD format. However, when I am on my MacBook Pro and using the same workflow it saves as a Tiff. What do I need to do in order to save the file as a PSD on my MacBook Pro?

Correct answer Per Berntsen

If you're using Lightroom Classic, you set the file format in Preferences > External editing.

There's probably a similar setting in the cloud version of Lightroom.

Wasn't the name of the app where you select "Edit in" a clue?
