right click still exists on a mac, it's a two finger click on the trackpad or ctrl plus click. in safari choose Save Image to Downloads and it goes to your Downloads folder, the one on the far right of the dock. Save Image As lets you pick the folder. if the menu only offers Copy Image, the site has blocked saving, and dragging the picture straight onto the desktop usually still works. one thing that catches switchers: a lot of images come down as .webp now, Preview opens them fine but some older apps won't.
