I was wondering what I would need to do to make a link, when clicked, download an image with the save as window, instead of just loading the image inside the browser.
I also don't want to have to right click the link & click save as

I would think that you could zip your image file and then you should be able to download the file.

By default, browsers are set to open files with image name extensions in a browser window. If you wanted, say a .jpeg file, to be downloaded instead, you would need to tell the browser to not display .jpeg files, but then it would never display jpegs.

Whether or not this can be done with javascript, you would need to ask on that board.
