It depends on what you want to do. By "picture" do you mean a drawing or a photograph? Illustrator is for drawings, Photoshop is for photos.

If you're still confused, try doing some research on Vector vs. Raster graphics. Illustrator is a vector drawing tool, while Photoshop is a photo editing tool (although it does include some vector tools as well).

Then try experimenting with both. When I first started learning these two programs (14 years ago!) I found Photoshop easier to understand and use at first. Things have changed a lot since then, though, so you might have a different preference.

Photoshop seems to have more of a community and following so more support and tutorials. I prefer it, but that's just me.

Megan is right about the difference between Illustrator and Photoshop. If you want to play around with an image, photoshop is your program. If you're laying out a poster, then Illustrator is the way to go. One is for editing images, the other is for layout and vector graphics.
And from my experience, they are both a bit complicated but also extremely powerful!

There is no doubt that PS is better than Illustrator. Although it is a little difficult for us to learn PS well, it is the most comprehensive photo editing software I have never seen.

Photoshop is better than Illustrator IF editing photographs is what you're after. For vectors, Illustrator is the tool you want to master!
