You can just design the shirt in corel draw.

Set the page background to black. Design the text as white.

Export as a PNG with tranparency and make the black background the transparent color and you can skip the photopaint step.

Just upload that transparent PNG that you export from CorelDraw.

Let me know if that helps
I did this and it still showed a black rectangle around the type when I added the design to the shirt in CafePress. I'm not sure if this is normal for the display, and when the shirt prints it does not pick up the other black. When my design is in the media basket with all my designs it shows the black rectangle with the white type. If this is normal, then it worked and I'll keep doing it. I thought it was odd when the instructions said you had to save it to photoshop or paint, then save it as a PNG, when Corel allows you to export as a PNG.
