Title embedded on banner as *.jpg?

If I include the title of my blog or article (keyword phrases) in Photoshop embedded
in the banner, are Google's robots read and consider that for the SEO or not?
Thank you

You would need to add an alt tag to your image in order for the search engine bots to read what your image is about. The alt tag for images is the equivalent of the title tag for URLs.

Bot's can't read images, that's why "alt='tags'" are so important.

Right, search engines don't extract any data from images. Alt tags aren't for the search engines only, they help visitors as well in case an image isn't loading, or they have a slow internet connection, so they are a must have in my opinion.
