Is this before painting?

If the humps are minor, feather out with drywall compound and a 12 inch trowel. If significant, you might need to scrape

Any texture differences well disappear after priming and painting

That was terrible advise. If the patches are sticking up you sand them down to even with the wall. Then you texture those spots. They sell cans of spray texture at the box stores, get a piece of cardboard and do some practice to get a texture that matches your wall. A couple you tube videos for technique would also probably help. It is an art to get it close to matching. Then you prime and paint the wall.

Never had a problem sanding through paint.

I haven't ever seen primer and paint over a smooth patch look like orange peel though.
