The first thing that comes to mind is the "ink outlines" filter and then to beef them up or make them thicker you could go to 'filter' + 'other' + 'minimum' and try that. it depends on the original photo. Unless your line art file is super clean doing it with filters will inevitably leave a lot of little scraps which will require cleaning up. If you do it that way, try first putting a 'smart blur' or 'median' filter on the photo to clean it up and make it more posterized like line art. Then do the filters I first described. Or try making a copy layer of the file and running the all the filters as I just described on that. Then either select all the black lines with the wand or however you want to get a good selection, command option "J" that selection so it bumps just the black lines onto a new layer, then clean up that line layer with the eraser or possibly 'select' +'modify' +'smooth' (contract 1 or 2 pixels might help) then 'select' + 'inverse' and hit the delete key to trim off all outside your smoothed and contracted selection. that might get you a nice clean black outline. then drop that on top of the original photo.
