I'm pretty sure the photos from early space missions including Apollo were shot on film, not digital camera...

Sure, but the post is saying subsequent to the Blue Marble, not all photos ever taken. It's reasonable to say that every NASA photo after 2012 has been digitally processed and isn't strictly a single photo. Composites are common, and you're dealing with noisy space stuff here, it makes sense.
