It is worthwhile to join NAPP. They not only have video tutorials but also a superb bi-monthly magazine. You will be over the learning-curve hump in no time! Here is the url: http://www.photoshopuser.com/

Also, once you have mastered the basics, I suggest that you get Dan Margulis's superb Photoshop Lab Color.

In addition to that, you can find a ton of videos on photoshop on iTunes. You do have to sign up and register, but these are all free. Under podcasts just do a search on photoshop and/or adobe.

For instance:
Photoshop for Digital Photographers - Michael Rather - 380 plus vids
The Russell Brown Show - 100 or so
Understanding Adobe Photoshop - Richard Harrington - around 185 - some in iPod format, some in HD

There a plenty more.

As to the NAPP, I am trying to choose between that and lynda.com. NAPP is $20 a month without membership and lynda is $25 a month. I am about to choose NAPP, because they specialize in photoshop, but I would welcome opinions and recommendations as well - not trying to hijack the thread - but helping the OP also.

EDIT: See post below - I meant kelbytraining.com

Thanks for the info!! I actually watched a few off of lynda - the tutorial "leader" for CS4 was really good I'm thinking of subscribing to that one... at least for a month. Thanks again!

As I looked at this reply again, I realized that I meant to say kelbytraining.com - not NAPP - vs lynda.com.

My apologies.

Both Kelbytraining and Lynda are good choices, however if your primary interest is PS I'd go with Kelby.

I have not tried Kelby tuts, but did do lynda.com and loved their video tutorials. Either way I'm sure you can cover a lot of ground with a one month membership.

Don't know about cs4 specific, but I found a ton of tutorials for CS3 on Youtube. Definitely worth some searches over there.
