This is where your ignorance sticks out like a sore thumb. CGI didn't come along until AFTER the Apollo program. All those Earth photos were from film photography.
What you don't understand is that, from low Earth orbit, it is NOT POSSIBLE to view the entire Earth. Do some geometry and figure it out. It is possible to take low altitude (several hundred kilometer) photography in strips, and use a computer to splice them together. That is what NASA is admitting. It is a synthesized image of a real thing. The recent Artemis I mission took a long-distance picture of the Earth.
But this is not a hill to die on. The roundness of the Earth was known before Christ (he never spoke against it), and proven physically by Magellan 500 years ago by circumnavigation. Centuries of sea travel---and then air travel---and then space travel---have only confirmed this fact. It doesn't stand on any NASA photographs.
The pictures are cgi, they admit it
