although a multi-colour gradient fill you make with GIMP *is* a
creative work under copyright law, and the output generated would
reasonably be covered as a derived work. And I would guess an
aesthetically pleasing filter kernel built into GIMP would be
treated similarly. And creative special-effects built in too.
Fonts you would expect also to be covered, if they were build in to the
GIMP, but these are normally separate, but the copyright on fonts
is rather limited, if I remember correctly.
I agree with Jean-Pierre's analogy.
