You either have to trace your outlines and stroke them on a different layer, or do something similar to what you did with Find Edges, only with a twist.

What I would try is this: change your image mode to LAB; duplicate the Lightness channel. In the Channels Pallet, select that duplicate. Then run the Find Edges Filter. Then adjuste Leves (or curves) to bring up the black and drop the white down. Then run a Gaussian blur on it with a radius of about 3. Then adjust the levels again, bringing up the black and dropping the white. You may also want to run an Unsharp Mask on it at that point. Then, use your eraser and clean out the insides of the outlines and the background. Finally, load that selection and stroke it.

That’d probably be my approach.

I did this for our family Christmas card.
1. Turn image into gray scale.
2. "filter", "stylze", "glowing edges"
3. play with the "edge width" and "edge brightness" a bit.
4. Invert the image and clean up a bit.

Have fun, it isn’t as complex as it sounds. I posted it os you can see how it worked at: www.gps.nu/outlines.html
