You are right.  Although the beginning text says silver compounds and
colloidal silver, I could not find one single case in
which colloidal silver was mentioned.  Also they contradict themselves
in the statement:

"the increased pigmentation becomes more pronounced in areas exposed to
sunlight due to photoactivated reduction of the
metal. "

Since colloidal silver is silver metal, it is already reduced.  This
line can ONLY apply to silver compounds, which we already
knew anyway.  The difference is if you leave a photo negative in the sun
it will turn dark (silver compounds), but if you leave
a developed photo in the sun it will fade (silver metal).
