Generating a file path

Does anyone know a tool for showing the path from one file to another? Ie, if my css file is in:

/User/foo/bar/source/assets/myscreen

and my image is in:

/User/foo/bar/gamethings/smallimages

How can I quickly, without having to count the file levels (which is simple, but tedious, and has to be done often), generate the path from the css to the image?

First, get realpath(1) from GNU Coreutils. Then:

$ realpath --relative-to=/User/foo/bar/source/assets/myscreen /User/foo/bar/gamethings/smallimages
../../../gamethings/smallimages
