Problem after placing tomato plants outdoors temporarily

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I have been growing plants indoors under flouresent light to get an early
start. This morning I placed a few tomato plants out on the patio as we were
having temps in the mid-seveties today. After about 6 hours in direct
sunlight several leaves on the plants were browned and shriveled and in fact
I may have lost one plant. What has happened here?, does one need to
gradually introduce the plants to outdoor conditions?. I have heard of
hardening off the plants but I thought that was temperature related rather
than light related. Any help would be appreciated.
