PI TIFFs opened in Adobe programs are horribly over-exposed (Windows 10)

How can I get TIFF export from PI to behave well with Adobe?

When I save my PI-processed images as TIFF and I try to open them in Adobe programs like Lightroom, PS, Bridge, etc., they show as horribly overexposed in the Adobe program. But if I save from PI as PNG, it comes out fine (i.e., exactly as I see in PI). Also if I open the same TIFFs in non-Adobe programs like IrfanView, it also shows fine. I'm on Windows 10.

My TIFF saving settings are:

Use 16-bit unsigned integer. Zip compression is okay but not LZW.

That's it! Thanks John!

As further info, PS doesn't handle 32-bit files well. If I recall correctly, if they're opened in PS's HDR Toning, you can bring the range in-line with what PS can handle better. Best to do as John says- save as 16-bit!
