What do you wish to do with photoshop? It has so many different ways to do one single effect and needless to say, the field which it can apply to.
Say, retouching landscape, fine-arts, publishing, printing, portraits and studio are all different sort of applications of photoshop techniques. They all require a very long time before you can actually master one.
Best 'free' resource I can think of is do them yourself and play with it as much as possible, then post them up here for review. Following lead is not a good way to learn as each person has their own workflow that suits them best, I dont know yours nor you will find my ways useful.
Mind you that you might not get as much feedback or comments as expected, but there are many here who are willing to help, including myself...
Photoshop is more like drawing/painting, I cant take your hands and draw a picture for you, nor you will learn anything from simply following my strokes. The best way, is always, go out and draw yourself, see what you've done wrong and go back and draw it again.
At least, that is what I can say apart from all the online and book resources that you've gone through.
