It looks like the image() method doesn't take that, or any other link
attributes, into consideration.
http://api.cakephp.org/view_source/html-helper/#line-604

I use link() plus image():

echo $this->Html->link(
$this->Html->image(
'photos/' . $resource['Resource']['filename'],
array('alt' => $resource['Resource']['title'])
),
array(
'controller' => 'resources',
'action' => 'lightbox',
$resource['Resource']['filename_large']
),
array(
'rel' => 'prettyPhoto',
'escape' => false
)
);

Note the 'escape' option. If left out, the img tag will be escaped.
