How to load up many images without using too much memory

How to load up many images without using too much memory

When writing games, I am aware that images take up a lot of space. If one has a large graphical game, they don't want problems with memory, or to give players the message "Go buy a better computer to run this game". However, loading up images everytime one needs an image and discarding it is very slow. So if a programmer has a large graphical game, how can they draw many images without sacrificing performance/memory?
