I think one of the give aways that it might be photoshopped is by observation of the contours of her body. If you observe carefully, you'll realise that on either side of Ayu's waist, the curves are too perfect, in fact, for long time users of any image editing software, you WOULD realise that the entire section looks vectorized and highly unnatural.
I don't deny the fact that Ayu's waist can actually be that slim. My waist is 28 inches (Oops, ok, I'm horrendously thin) and when I face the mirror, it is actually possible to achieve a waistline that appears like that when you're wearing a dress that's tight fitting at that area. Like seriously. Because my personal anatomy is like that of a sponge, wide when facing the front, but slim when faced to the side. (Ok, I'm so self-derogatory.) If you know of any friends who are slim (or thin), you MIGHT be able to observe their body shape as such. Hence, it is entirely likely for Ayu to have her body shape like that.
I think one of the best indications is during Ayu's Arena Tours. If you look at AT05 and AT06, during the encore sections, you can observe that Ayu really has a sleek waistline.
All in all, I can say is that yup, I'm pretty sure myself that that cover had been photoshopped, but I'm not denying that it could be probable Ayu's body shape actually looks like that. Added on to the fact that if Ayu has an iron fist control over the image portrayed on the covers, I'm sure Ayu WOULD have noticed it but if it truly was her natural body posture, she would have gone ahead with it.
