I'm just getting this error when I try and open malebody_1.dds I can open malebody_1_s.dds fine, just not the open I actually need >.<

Hey! I'm brand new to modding - not got the slightest idea what I'm doing - and I'm trying to open the malebody_1.dds file so I can add some tattoos to it. The skin texture is actually from the Tempered Males mod, and I'm able to open the hand textures fine but not the body textures. I had the exact same problem with trying to edit a completely different Fallout 4 skin too, and I'm no closer to solving it now :\ Is there something I have to do with the file before I can edit it? I've tried GIMP and Paint.Net and neither have been able to open the malebody_1.dds file. Thanks!

For my first ever attempt at trying to mod any game I decided to try and add some tattoos or face paints to FO4. I was following this tutorial; I had everything sorted, but as soon as I click on "Face Paints" or "Tattoos" the Creation Kit will stop responding and crash. When I reopen it and get back to the same point, I get the error; "FORMS: Attempted to instantiate a character tint editor without valid race tinting data." (Characters > Race > HumanRace > Tinting > Face Paints > *crashes*) Sorry if this is pretty vague, but I don't have any idea what's going wrong with it.
