if you import raw files into lightroom, by default there will be some preset settings applied, which includes a little bit of sharpening.

Automatically applied, but of course u can tuned it off and any other stuff to your preference before converting to jpeg
how to I turn them OFF? somehow I felt it look better originally, but after the loading then it kind"a" make me wonder and could get back what I saw earlier.

just after importing. i'm not sure exactly when, but on my not-so-fast computer, i can see the settings being applied when i select the picture
and as i notice it, the presets are camera-dependent. so the preset settings are different depending on camera

On my none faster than your computer, I see "loading" and then adjustments are made auto.
