White Tomato Leaves

I transferred my tomato plants from indoors and into the greenhouse at the weekend and found yesterday the leaves edges have turned white-ish.
A quick Google suggested it would be the strong sunlight that is the cause after the transfer, and will be putting up some shade later.

Has anybody had the same experience, and if so, can i expect the plants to survive and give a normal crop?

    Sounds like a bit of scorching to me - depends on how much leaf area is damaged. They're like solar panels so the more damage, the less effective they are, the weaker the plant becomes. One leaf on an otherwise healthy plant wouldn't worry me at all (in fact that's normal for me because I'm too lazy to use shading)

    Why am I in this handcart and where are we going ?
