No lossless ZIP compression of TIFF files anymore in PS?

I have a Macbook Pro M1 and use LR together with PS to process my images. They come from Sony A7R5, I save originally lossless raw (60-70 MB/image) plus jpg standard (1-2 MB/image)...

The problem comes, when I edit in PS, directly out of LR. When I close the edited file, in order to come back to LR, I store the new file in TIFF format. I remember in previous versions of PS there was the option to save uncompressed or compressed (among compressed versions there was the lossless ZIP format)...

Now the only option I see is to embed the color profile or not, but there are no options for compression (out of the "save as" submenue). Accordingly the files have 250-350 MB, what I find a bit oversized (I have 2TB od SSD plus 20TB of NAS, but no inclination to waste storage space) ...

How can I set an option for ZIP compression?

Thanks, Wolfgang

Hi @WS007 when you click through the save format does this window show on the second screen?
