Skim or leave

Hi all,

I had a plasterer remove a hall door for me and the join of the existing wall (covered in lining paper on the left) with the new plasterboard/plaster shows the
plasterboard/plaster to wall join about 2-3mm proud. (see photos). The plan is to put lining paper on this wall but don't how to level this out or whether I could simply leave and put lining paper on covering this join? However, I'm thinking I would have problems getting the lining paper to align without levelling it off.

Grateful for any advice and product recommendations. Would Toupret 'join and skim' work?

Regards
anthony

Not sure what's happened there.
That raised line wanted removing and wall skimmed.
Is that the door frame edge?

Lining paper won't hide that.
 
Hi,

thanks for your help.
I have attached a couple more pictures.
There is the door and door frame then lining paper then comes the joint to the plasterboard+plaster that replaced another doorway.
So I have a wall made up of lining paper on the left, the join from that to the new plasterboard and the plasterer has left a 2-3mm 'ravine' between the 2 which I'm trying to smooth out.
