I recommend Phil Steele. His website has various video tutorials for photoshop basics. It's a paid site but reasonably priced and I just like the way he explains things in a nice easy way. I really learned a lot from him.

Also, even though am not a big Kelby fan his books are informative and I highly recommend his Photoshop bible! I still use it for reference from time to time. (See Harry's reply for the book in question).
All you really need to know in regards to using Photoshop as a photographer is working with layers. That and the sharpening / NR abilities are probably the most useful things that you'll encounter. Most processing can be done directly in LR now, it's really just touching up photos where you need to soften skin and remove blemishes where Photoshop comes into its own. Good for tweeking that all important shot and making it look perfect!
