What have I done to my tomatoes?

Afraid I'm killing them... What is happening to the leaves? they sure didn't look like this a few weeks ago. can anyone tell me what's wrong and how I can correct it, if possible?

I have a different tomato variety growing in my raised bed and it looks 10x's better than these poor guys :(

Wow! Off hand that looks like the worst case of tomato sunburn I have seen.

So tell us what happened between when they were looking good a few weeks ago and now...

By any chance did you bring them out from inside without hardening them off? Perhaps into hot TX sunshine?

thank you guys! the ones in the raised bed are cherry tomatoes and these guys are producing a larger fruit, so maybe the cherrys are just tolerating it better and I've been burning them all along. I've moved them to a place with more shade! hopefully they improve :)

Plenty of water will help!
