1. A hand held device comprising: a two dimensional color imager; imaging optics for focusing light reflected from a target onto said two dimensional color imager; a processor communicatively coupled with said two dimensional imager; a memory; an actuator for manually initiating image capture, the hand held device being adapted so that in response to said actuator being actuated by a user, said hand held device obtains an image for processing, said image for processing including color imaging data; and wherein said hand held device is further adapted so that said processing includes (a) processing said image according to a first process, wherein a result of said first process indicates whether a symbol is represented in said image; and (b) performing a storing process for storing said image into said memory conditionally on the condition that the result of the first process indicates that a symbol is not represented in said image.
