Some of the changes made for ''Red Dwarf Remastered'' included:
*'''Replacement [[title sequence]]s for [[List of Red Dwarf episodes#Series I (1988)|Series I]], [[List of Red Dwarf episodes#Series II (1988)|II]] and [[List of Red Dwarf episodes#Series III (1989)|III]].'''  These retained the initial image of [[Dave Lister|Lister]] painting the outside of ''Red Dwarf'', but featured a new attempt to realise the original intention to pull out from a close-up of Lister to the entire ship in one uninterrupted shot.  This was followed by a new fast-paced opening montage similar to those created for Series III-[[List of Red Dwarf episodes#Series VIII (1999)|VIII]].
*'''All-new [[Computer-generated imagery|computer-generated]] [[special effect]]s of ''Red Dwarf'' flying through [[outer space|space]].'''  Whilst the original series simply featured ''Red Dwarf'' flying through unadorned starscapes, the Remastered version added backgrounds such as burning [[sun]]s, icy [[Natural satellite|moon]]s and coloured [[nebula]]e. A model [[dust storm]] was recreated in CG, and in addition to the typically sedate movement ''Red Dwarf'' was shown, in appropriate scenes, racing through space.
*'''Additional [[post-production]] [[visual effects]]'''.  Including a malfunction effect being laid onto the hologram [[Arnold Rimmer|Rimmer]] in ''[[Queeg (Red Dwarf episode)|Queeg]]'', [[Holly (Red Dwarf)|Holly]] on the [[computer monitor|monitor]]s, transitions and (in close-up) borders being altered or added. Most significantly '''the starscape outside the windows of the ship interiors was edited, where possible, to match the new special effects.'''  Due to technical restrictions this was possible only when the camera was static.

*'''Most other model shots of crafts in space being likewise replaced with [[Computer-generated imagery|computer-generated]] [[special effect]]s.'''  For the craft ''Blue Midget'', as with ''Red Dwarf'' itself, these modifications amounted to a complete redesign, and matched those that would appear in Series VIII. The new Red Dwarf was created as a 12' model, but due to space restrictions in the studio they were unable to use it. Minor changes to ''Starbug'' also reflected the ship's Series VII incarnation, with a smaller viewscreen and legs that would tilt backwards.
*'''Further [[Computer-generated imagery|computer-generated]] additions and replacements'''. Including an extended sequence of the polymorph travelling through the ''Red Dwarf'' air ventilation system, a 'time hole' journey to [[Backwards (Red Dwarf episode)|backwards]] Earth, and various shots of elevators in lift-shafts. Other minor CGI alterations include those laid over existing live-action scenes, such as a grey opening and closing 'hatch' being laid over what was, in the original scene, a flip-top bin.
*'''Additional [[chroma key|bluescreen]] elements''' being applied to particular scenes, especially during the first episode ''[[The End (Red Dwarf)|The End]]''. These included skutters placed in the foreground of an early scene, and more attendees being added to the foreground of the McIntyre funeral scene.
*'''Replacement music and audio effects''' being applied to all scenes: the show in general was given a more detailed soundscape, a new stereo mix with fully remastered foreground and background effects.  The audience laughter track was similarly remixed and adjusted. Changes were specific as well as general:  Rimmer's mother was re-voiced by a different actress in ''[[Polymorph (Red Dwarf episode)|Polymorph]],'' for example; Rimmer was heard to crash into objects after falling through the Cat in "The End" (despite his [[holographic]] status); and in the same episode the Cat was supplemented with a hissing noise as he made himself "look big".
*'''All videotape work being given a full colour grade, and [[filmizing|filmised]].'''[[Image:Polymorph remastered comparison.jpg|thumb|A [[film still|still]] from ''[[Polymorph (Red Dwarf episode)|Polymorph]]'' showing the before and after picture regrading]]
*'''Cropping of the top and bottom of the original picture to leave a [[14:9]] "widescreen" picture.''' (Some versions only.)
*'''Occasional close-up scenes with Holly in Series I being re-filmed with actor [[Norman Lovett]].'''  New jokes with the character were also added to several episodes.  [[Hattie Hayridge]]'s performance in Series III remained the same as the original, however.
*'''Trimming of some scenes''', such as the shortening of George McIntyre's speech in "The End", the removal of Cat's fantasy mermaid girlfriend and the "Black card/white card" discussions in the episode "[[Balance of Power (Red Dwarf)|Balance of Power]]". Performed partially for pace reasons, and sometimes due to dissatisfaction with the writing or performance quality.<ref name="Re-Dwarf, Naylor"/>
