convert an image into an outline

I have an image roughly 600 px square which in which the picture was taken on a white-ish background. I managed to crop it well enough to now have a silhouette of the object, black object on white background. Is there a way to convert it to an outline, say with a 1-3 pixel border? It is currently a .png.

You could select by color and choose the black, then from the select menu choose "to path" from there go to the edit menu and select "stroke path".

thanks - I think I've even done this but completely forgot the technique. Need to replace the glue...
