OK, what do I see? It looks like we have that image on two layer, one sharp and one blurred (probably a Gaussian Blur of 1.0 to 1.5 I'd guess.) Let's assume the blurry one was on the top, you'd want to ad a "layer mask" to it, it's one of the little icons at the bottom of the layers pallette. Then you choose the gradient tool and make a gradient from black to white on that layer, this would allow the sharp image to show through on the left. Then they have a line pattern dropped over that sharp image, 2px black, 2px nothing, then 3-1px black lines. You'd want to do this on a new layer, between the sharp image and the blurry one. Simplest might be to use the pencil tool and just draw a small version of this (possibly on a new document), then you could seleect that area and chose "define pattern", now you could go back to that layer between the other two and use "fill/pattern". You'd be pretty much done then! (Some tweaking involved, I'm sure.) Here's what I came up with, doing exactly what I said above...
