It depends what Mac you have, the MBP 15" can't (to my knowledge and reading) but the 17" can, and I'm not sure about the Mac Books but if that's what you have you can try it out.
Put both fingers on the trackpad and click.
You can find more info here: http://wpram.com/log/2006/06/02/right_click_on/
As well they also talk about a driver for the install on the 15" MBP.

Get out of the habit of right-clicking. Learn to use the menubar (there's always one, always in the same spot, and every command is there.) For copy-and-paste, use drag-and-drop. It's much faster than right-click.

If your computer is capable of two-finger clicking, you have to go into System Preferences to turn it on.
No there isn't.

In Safari:dohidied said:
View->View Source
Then you will get the code for the page in TextEdit and looking for the image tags you will find something like:
Code:
<img src="http://stinkbutt.deviantart.com/0//d3v1l80y.deviantart.com/" width="1" height="1" alt=""/>So, it can be done via the menubar.

EDIT: And if scrolling through HTML code is too much to do for anyone, they can always ctrl + click on the image and use the "Copy Image Address" option to get it without the image tags attached. Granted that isn't using the menubar, but it is still an alternative to right-clicking.

Right, which is the same thing as right clicking. Except you have to use two hands. I just don't see a reason to avoid right clicking.

Neither do I. :black:dohidied said:
Which is why I use a two-button mouse with my Mac.
I was merely agreeing and pointing out that right-click/control-click commands can be done via the menubar or keyboard shortcuts.

Control + Click works fine for me
