Couldn't you just color select all blacks and copy/paste them to a new canvas? seems straightforward enough.

Seriously , how do you color select all black?

[dct21]

one way is to click on one of the black lines with the wand tool but make sure o uncheck the contagus button

oh snap... nice tutorial blud... the pen tool has been giving me a headache

[Dragonfly<3]

the outline color(black) isn't really solid.
after you select all the black, it won't give you a really good result.

if I were doing this one, I would make a new layer fills with white.
next, put the new layer at opacity of 40%-50% so that you can see the bottom image somewhat.
then use pentool to go around the edge and stroke. ^^

don't know how to use pentool?
polygonal lasso tool can do the same thing.
if you can't make good curves with it, simply need more practice^^
also, you can't use simulate pressure for lasso tool >.>
which makes pentool better =)


EDIT:

^Mike: if you're trying to figure out pentool by yourself, of course it causes you some headache. =p
