Default potential tomato problems?

Hi all, i'm a completely novice tomato grower and this year have tried
growing ailsa craig and black russian.
Ive recently potted them outside into large pots but ive noticed that
the leaves have white patches on them and have started
splitting/cracking.
Also leaves on the black russian are turning dark purple/brown which is
spreading into the leaf.
There are no obvious signs of pests but i'd like a more expert opinion
on whether this is a problem and how to tackle it, or whether it's
nothing to worry about. I've attached photos.
Thanks all!

Looks like sunscald. Did you harden them off? Regardless, they'll probably grow out of it.
