mod_rewrite redirect requests to subfolder

I've coded my website locally on the root of the server (WAMP running Apache 2.4.2) and i was setting the source for images and other resources with that in mind, so for instance an image called example.png would have "src=/img/example.png". Now i've moved the project to a subfolder, and the images won't load because their link is broken. I do not want to have to set the new source for each image on the html so i was hoping there would be another way to fix the links using mod_rewrite.

To demonstrate: I want a request for 

http://localhost/img/logo.gif

to go to

 http://localhost/newdir/img/logo.gif

Thanks in advance!

This should do: 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule !^newdir/ newdir%{REQUEST_URI}

See this post for more info regarding your problem:

Carefull to uncomment the following line in your httpd.conf file:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Having the following file structure:

-www
  -newfolder
     -img
        -header.png
  -.htaccess

When I access:

localhost/img/header.png I see the image
