When I jump to Photoshop from Lr (not Lr classic), can I chose PSD type ?

Because TIFF is too big.

    Your screen capture shows that you are using Classic, not Lightroom. Also, a PSD isn't going to be smaller than a TIFF so it's not really clear what you are trying to do or why.

      I know my screen capture is Lr classic.

      Because in Lr classic, I can chose the file type , so,  I want to find the same setting in Lightroom.

      Then I can get the PSD in photoshop at the first time. (Not open a TIFF ,  save as a PSD)

       

      But, another question. I always thought that a PSD is smaller than a TIFF.

      I compared the same photo saving as different type, tiff is biger than PDS. 

      Is my idea wrong?

      In Photoshop use the menu:

      File >> Save As

      Then choose PSD from the top of the list of file formats.

      Click Ctrl+W (Cmd+W) to close the PS document or click the X symbol.

        Thanks for your answer. It worked.

        I would like to make sure,

        When I jump to Photoshop, Lr convert the file to TIFF automatically at the first time. Can I chose the file type in Lr? (Like Lr classic)
