For publications usually images in TIFF format are required in high resolutions. Where can I change settings for images that are being saved (using RMB click "Save Graphic As..."), so I don't need to post process them in Illustrator?

Using the ImageSize and ImageResolution options can be a bit tricky sometimes, but this will usually work:
g = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}]
cm = 72/2.54 (* centimetre *)
Export["figure.tiff", Show[g, ImageSize -> 10 cm], ImageResolution -> 300]
This will export an image 10 cm wide with 300 dpi resolution.
The important point was to use ImageSize inside Show and not directly in Export.
Note: you must use a command to export with these settings. If you export using the GUI then you can't change these options.
Also, I recommend using a vector format such as PDF for publication, except for 3D graphics.

Exportfunction to export to bitmap formats. It has a whole bunch of parameters that you can set to determine the image parameters. $\endgroup$
