I'm rather new to the Mac and can't seem to find an easier way to rename a photo, other than through "Get Info". On a PC I can just right click the photo and then click "Rename". Isn't there an easier way to do this on a Mac? Oh and I'm really not liking iPhoto one bit.
Got a tip for us?

Highlight the file, hit "Enter" and you can type in whatever name you want within the character limit.
If you don't like iPhoto, don't use it.

miles01110 is right (he always is!) on the way to rename an individual file. If you want to batch rename a number of files, I've found Name Mangler to be particularly useful. I also don't care for iPhoto, so I don't use it.
Thanks, that is exactly what I wanted! And I don't use iPhoto anymore, It's easier to just keep all my photos in a regular folder.
You can do that with iPhoto. Just make sure preferences > advanced > copy to library is unchecked
