Painter X?

I love photography, but I really like using filters in photoshop and turing my photos in digital art. I really want to get into digital painting, but I'm not sure if I should just do it with photoshop or should I get painter X? If any body has experince please help me

I have no more experience than playing with it for 10 minutes and wishing I had the talent to use these brushes :cry But then the possibilities would be too overwhelming
Also, you can open files between PS & Painter, I believe.
