Accidentally Scan Your Fingers?
No Problem!
Use the editing tool to delete accidental finger images.
In most cases, the tool will automatically detect fingers and target them for deletion, but you may also have to drag the lines around them to edit them out. Just make sure your fingers aren’t covering up any necessary text!
