I tried to load an image file I pack with my node but if I

```auto
Jimp.read("./test.png")

```

or

```auto
Jimp.read("test.png")

```

I get "Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open './test.png'" even though it is right beside the js file

`__dirname` is local to each module. Use path.resolve and path.join to get full path to files relative to your node module.

```auto
var path = require("path");
var imagePath = path.join(__dirname, "test.png");

Jimp.read(imagePath)

```

Works thank for the help.
