Compass img subdirectories using image-url?

I noticed when using the image-url helper in compass that it seems to only access images if they are within the root img folder. How would I access an image using this helper within a subdirectory of the img folder?

Thanks, hope you understood my question

Use relative paths to the images root folder, so if you have a directory inside it, use it like that:

@include image-url('subdir/my_image.png').

Also if you want images outside of the root directory, you need to go up to the parent(s), like such:

@include image-url('../../../images/image.png')
