The best way to identify a font at https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ is to have crisp black text on a white background. Here is a quick guide on how to achieve this. The outcome will depend on the quality of the original image text, and contrast between foreground and background.
Crop the text that you want to identify, by selecting the area with the Crop Tool ( C) and pressing Enter

Now select the text by going to Select -> Color Range. Click the dropper tool on the text and adjust the Fuzziness slider until the desired text is white and the background is black (depending on your Selection Preview). Press OK
